Minimalist protection is the name of the game with the Nilch. Blending all of the benefits of minimalist construction with full foot coverage, the Nilch gives you the feeling of complete freedom without sacrificing the all around security of a shoe. Freedom and security at the same time… maybe the airlines should take notes.
- Our Spider Original rubber grips like crazy in wet environments
- Just 6mm of material between your foot and the ground lets the Nilch flex and bend naturally with you
- We figure that Mother Nature knows what she's doing, so we made the sole of the Nilch mimic the human foot as closely as possible, giving you an incredible sense of the earth
- The Nilch's sole is designed to grip in both wet and dry environments, making it a great shoe for anything you do around the water
- A stretch mesh upper dries very quickly in the sun
- The Nilch's monosock construction keeps annoying rocks and sand out of the shoe
- The minimal architecture of the Nilch makes you feel like you're wearing nothing at all, which everyone knows is a great feeling
- An EVA strobel insole gives you comfort without hurting the Nilch's flexibility
- Lightweight full foot coverage protects your feet without weighing them down
- Microban zinc based anti-microbial protection
Weight: 5.6 oz
Spider Original™
A lot of people ask why we named our original rubber compound after one of the creepiest creatures on the planet. In response, we ask them if they’ve ever seen a cute puppy climb up a completely vertical, soaking wet rock. No? We rest our case.

Comments about Nilch:
Went to Costa Rica and wore these to the beach and when I did a hike near the beach. Shoes held up well and were comfortable, without socks of course! I hate socks! Only thing I hated was it retained so much water! Does not drain! So don't wear underwater or near water higher than your ankle.

Comments about Nilch:
I use these for water aerobics. It is great to have a genuine water shoe in my size (15, narrow). The shoes are very well designed, sturdy, flexible, light. And they dry completely in about 10 under perfectly normal indoor conditions.
