NRS FAQs

Wetshoes

• What water shoes are best for fitting into my low volume whitewater kayak?
  We have several shoes with low profile flexible soles that enable you to get your shoes into your whitewater kayak. The Attack and Desperado Shoe are built with neoprene and are great if you need a warmer kayaking shoe and the Scout is a shoe/sandal cross and works great when the temperatures are warmer. We also have the Desperado and Rodeo Sock which are made from neoprene and have a vulcanized rubber sole which allows for maximum flexibility for those really tight spaces.
   
• What wetshoe would you recommend to provide enough support for portaging?
  The NRS Workboot has the best support in and out of water.
   
• I need a neoprene bootie that will fit inside my rodeo/playboat, what do you suggest?
  NRS offers three lines of the ultra-thin foot wear, the Rodeo Sock, Desperado Shoe and a Desperado Sock for those tight fitting kayaks. 
   
• What bootie would you recommend to fit in my river-running kayak or sea kayak?
  NRS made the Paddle Shoe for this exact application.  The extra ankle padding makes for all-day paddling comfort.  Also the midsole shim gives the support needed for portaging and maneuvering across gravel and rock beds. The Desperado Shoe and the Attack Shoe are a good choice when you're limited on space.
