One of the perks of sponsoring the best kayakers in the world and the U.S. National Raft Team is that we get to pick their brains about what they’re looking for in the perfect shoe. We took our old Cherry Bomb bootie and completely reworked it from the ground up with the team. We brought in a Spider Rubber + JStep outsole that has grip that will boggle your mind, and we streamlined the entire boot so that nothing will stick in the tight spaces of a raft or kayak. The second perk? We get to have beers with the best kayakers in the world and the U.S. National Raft Team. This is a unisex model that uses men's sizing. We recommend 2 full sizes down for women e.g. women's size 8 should choose size 6.

T.I.D.E. GRIP
  • Our Spider Rubber + JStep outsole was designed to keep its grip on a grease-covered aluminum ramp (true story). Wet rocks shouldn’t be a problem.
T.I.D.E. HYDRO
  • A 3mm neoprene upper will keep your feet warm and will dry out quickly after you put it to use.
T.I.D.E. COMFORT
  • Pull cord adjustment gives you a good fit, but it’s low profile enough to fit into your boat.
  • The strap across the forefoot allows for a tight fit
  • A rubber cage around your heel gives you great stability and durability
  • A rubber bumper will protect your toes
  • A gusset at the ankle allows for easy on/off
  • Approximate shaft height: 9"
  • Approximate shaft circumference: Adjustable 6½"

Spider Rubber® + JStep®

Our Spider Rubber + JStep outsole may be the grippiest sole we’ve ever made, which is saying something, considering we made our reputation sticking to wet rocks.

  • Cherry Bomb 2

    Q:

    I would like to use these when stepping in shallow water to launch my kayak. Would my feet stay dry as long as the water doesn't go over the top of the shoe or will my feet be wet? If water does seep through, if they are only briefly submerged would my feet stay dry?

      A:

      This style contains 3mm of neoprene in the upper that acts like a wetsuit, keeping your feet warm drying out quickly after you put it to use.

  • Cherry Bomb 2

    Q:

    Would they work with fins for scuba diving or snorkling? I have a long, narrow foot and am always looking for a bootie with enough adjustments to hold my foot inside it.

      A:

      This style features a sturdy JStep outsole and we cannot guarantee the compatibility with fins. We do offer free returns on all US orders placed on our website or through our call center.

  • Cherry Bomb 2

    Q:

    How do these compare to standard athletic shoe sizing, say Nike or comparable? I read that they may run a bit small. I would like these as watershoes for my stocking foot waders.
