NRS Women's Arroyo Shoe

Lightweight Women’s Wetshoes for Recreational Paddling

The NRS Women’s Arroyo Wetshoes are lightweight, low-profile water shoes designed to provide comfortable protection from rocks, dirt and waterside surfaces.

Suitable for recreational boating, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, the Arroyo offers a practical alternative to bare feet or bulky paddling boots. Its flexible construction is easy to wear, easy to pack and streamlined enough to fit inside kayaks with limited foot space.

Flexible Neoprene Comfort

The Arroyo features a 1.5 mm neoprene upper, providing flexibility and additional warmth during cooler paddling sessions.

A wide opening, stretchy neoprene construction and rear ankle pull tab make the wetshoes easy to slip on and remove. The comfort-shaped toe box also provides room for natural toe movement, helping you maintain balance and control while standing or moving around your craft.

Low-Profile Design for Tighter Kayaks

Bulky footwear can feel restrictive inside smaller kayak cockpits and footwells. The Arroyo’s flexible, streamlined profile is designed to tuck more easily into confined spaces without adding unnecessary bulk around the foot.

This makes it particularly useful for recreational paddlers who want basic underfoot protection while retaining freedom of movement inside the boat.

Cushioned Protection and Reliable Grip

Underfoot, the Arroyo combines three separate layers:

• 3 mm neoprene footbed: Provides soft cushioning beneath the foot
• 2 mm PE shank: Adds structure and underfoot support
• 1.8 mm rubber outsole: Helps protect the foot and provides grip on wet surfaces

This layered construction offers practical protection when walking between the shore and your craft, launching from rocky or dirty areas, or moving around docks and waterside locations.

Why Choose the NRS Women’s Arroyo Wetshoes?

Choose the Arroyo when you need a simple, lightweight wetshoe that provides more protection than going barefoot without the bulk of a heavier paddling boot.

Its soft neoprene upper keeps the shoe flexible, while the layered sole adds cushioning, structure and grip. The streamlined shape is especially useful for kayaking, where compact footwear can make it easier to position and move your feet inside the boat.

Care Guidance

After use, rinse the wetshoes thoroughly with clean, fresh water to remove salt, sand and dirt. Allow them to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing them away from prolonged direct sunlight or intense heat.
