Barefoot looks nice until the dock is hot or the sand hides shells. These water socks give a thin layer of grip and keep grit out of your shoes when you leave the water.
They dry quickly and pack flat. If you travel to beaches or hotel pools, throw a pair in the suitcase — they also work as slip-ons for the walk back to the car.
