Northern River Supply Paddle Shoe

I wore these paddle shoes for the first time yesterday and my feet were very comfortable. I did not wear them with waterproof socks and I was fine for limited water exposure. They are not stiff yet you feel like your feet are supported and protected. I didn't have a problem with them drying out over night (in 40F weather). I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 women's shoe and I ordered a size 8. The 8 is a snug fit but the 9 would have been too big.

First off I'll say that I'm an avid whitewater paddler. Every weekend. Even in the winter. Had a pair of these. Pros: Good thick insulation. Sturdy and well-secured rand, never separated from the neoprene. Cons: Poor ventilation. The rand is so stiff it's impossible to turn them inside-out so it took 4 days to dry them. Also, the zipper blew out after 1 1/2 seasons. Not bad, there's worse out there but there's better stuff too. Spend the extra 20 bones on some Nike ACS.

This little bootie has served me well. Fit was right on with the sizing chart. Shoe is tough enough for scrambling around on Baja igneous rock. No problem with sand entering the boot. Love em!

A great boot! Light weight but snug fit and kept my feet warm in cold water. Good grips for safe stance on rocks and hard surfaces.

Service was really fast. I originally ordered the wrong size of paddle shoes. I got the correct size only 5 days of returning the original pair. Keep up the great work.
