Gear: Columbia Drainmaker Shoe

Lightweight but durable, this new hybrid water shoe is best for adventures where you’re getting wet and want your feet protected. The Drainmaker is study enough for the portage trail, but the minimalist upper design and draining midsoles promise to be dry by morning. Available in men’s and women’s sizes.

Construction:

  • Techlite midsole with drainage ports in heel and forefoot
  • Omni-Grip high traction wet rubber grip
  • Breathable single layer open mesh upper
  • Siped with lugs for extra traction
  • Fully drainable footbed
