Rock Shoes

Most kayaking shoes either feel too chunky to work your rudder pedals or too flimsy to protect your feet. And when they get sucked off after a swim, you’re left barefoot. The Palm Rock Shoe gets the balance right. With a mid-flex sole that gives you both feel and protection, it’s ideal for multisport, whitewater, and sea kayaking. The secure Velcro strap keeps them firmly on your feet, while the low-profile fit works seamlessly with foot blocks and rudder pedals. At Canterbury Kayaking, it’s the shoe we recommend to pretty much everyone. You’ll see our founder Sam Milne wearing them in his own boat — and once you try them, you won’t want to paddle in anything else. Every paddler needs a pair of these booties, which is why they’re one of our best-selling products of all time.
