joy4ron Posted February 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2019 We booked the cave tubing for next month. I know there's a bit of a hike. We were thinking of buying some water shoes, but I'm wondering what we should get. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't know how much use they will get elsewhere. We booked the beach break in Cozumel and a beach break at Mahogany Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted February 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2019 we have Keen sandals that are water shoes. They have a solid sole so easy to walk around in port or jungle, but good water shoes also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 20, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Keens are probably amongst the best. But IMO the best shoes for cave tubing are old (to you) sneakers/running/walking shoes. Ones that the support is starting to go and you have newer pairs. Wear them to the cave tubing, then drop them in the donation box by the merchandise store. Bring other shoes or flip flops/sandals to change into when done. For Coz and MBCC beaches, flip flops or regular sandals are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stmar Posted February 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I had water shoes with thin soles and no support, bad mistake. You walk a long ways, several river crossings and rocks rocks rocks. I would buy a cheap pair of tennis shoes since you don't foresee using them much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musigurl Posted February 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Highly recommend rubber sandals. Here's a selfie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted March 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If you wear water shoes, be sure they have good soles. On our tour, we had to walk in shallow water across the river with a rocky bottom. Then, the trail up the hill required decent footwear. Hubby has some that have a sole like sneakers. Mine are a bit thicker than the cheap ones you get at walmart, but not as thick as his and they were fine. The recommendation of wearing old sneakers and the rubber sandals are good, too.

ccturner26 Posted March 24, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2019 We used water shoes with a little thicker soles. Worked fine. Of note, Butt's Up would not let you have your heels uncovered (like they would with a sandal or flip flop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
