The ZEMgear O2 Oxygen Ninja Split Toe is our next best water shoe. Here’s the deal, we are always looking for the another great water shoe to wear on the boat. The requirements are:
- Comfortable
- Fit Well, so they won’t slip off your feet
- Durable, they have to last more than one season
- Get Wet, dry fast, get wet again, dry fast again
- Breathable

Now that you know what we’re looking for, you might remember a while ago we did an article on the Vibram Five Fingers Shoe as a good boat shoe idea for women. It’s true, Vibram and ZEMgear are competitors, we wanted to feature these ZEMgear O2 Oxygen Ninja Split Toe, since they may have some things the others might lack. These ZEMgear shoes do the trick and fulfill all of the requirements listed above. Here are some things you’ll want to know before buying these shoes (and don’t worry this won’t scare you off).
These shoes are designed to go on sand, mud and the deck of a sailboat or motor boat. The soles are grippy enough to grab at the wet boat deck so you won’t be slipping off anytime soon. These shoes also do well when they get wet. They are breathable and dry fast. It also won’t leave any marks on your clean white boat, that’s important to us sailors!
They are pretty cool shoes!
