Our top four colorways — already on 50,000+ feet from beach to trail.
Three friends. One bad pair of beach shoes.
Founders Casey, Mira, and Theo got tired of bruised feet on lava rock in Hawaii, and tired of soggy sneakers after a paddle session in San Diego. So they spent two years building the shoe they wished existed. Today it's worn by surf guides, reef divers, and kids on family vacations across 30+ countries.

Real reviews from real adventurers
Best water shoes I've ever owned. They're light, they drain instantly, and the grip on wet rocks is unreal. I wear them paddleboarding every weekend.
Bought four pairs for a family trip to Maui. Zero blisters, zero slipping — even on lava rock. My kids refuse to take them off.
I'm a yoga instructor on a sailboat. FirstTs are the only shoe I trust on a wet deck. The teal pair gets compliments every single day.
Everything you wanted to know
Real answers from real customers. Still curious? Our team replies to every email within one business day.
Contact supportWhat are water shoes used for?
Water shoes protect your feet on wet, slippery, or sharp surfaces while letting water drain out quickly. They are ideal for paddleboarding, kayaking, beach walking, rocky rivers, snorkeling, and pool decks. FirstT shoes are also light enough to wear all day as casual footwear.
How should I size FirstT water shoes?
FirstT shoes fit true to size for most adults. If you are between sizes, size down for a snugger sock-like fit (recommended for swimming) or size up for more toe room (recommended for hiking). A full US/EU/UK size chart is on every product page.
How quickly do they dry?
The breathable knit upper and drainage ports in the sole let most of the water exit within seconds. Fully air-dry time is typically 30–60 minutes depending on humidity. They will not retain odor like neoprene booties.
Are they good for rocky beaches and reefs?
Yes. The outsole uses a reinforced rubber compound with multidirectional lugs that grip wet rocks, coral, and slippery boat decks. The upper is made from tightly-knit polyester that resists punctures from shells and small stones.
Are they machine washable?
Yes. Rinse off sand or salt first, then machine wash on a cold gentle cycle inside a mesh bag. Air dry only — never put them in the dryer or in direct sunlight for extended periods.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 60-day try-them-anywhere guarantee. If you are not happy for any reason, return them for a full refund or exchange — even if they have been worn outside. Free return labels on US orders.
Where does FirstT ship?
FirstT ships worldwide. Free standard shipping is included on orders over $79 USD. Most orders to the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Australia arrive within 5–10 business days.
