If you’re serious about fishing and boating you know that at some point your feet are going to get wet. With that in mind Rugged Shark embarked on a project to develop a boat shoes platform capable of draining water out of your shoes as fast as water comes in! After numerous shoe prototypes and torture testing by some of the top fishing captains and mates in Florida, where wet feet are part of the job description, we perfected the ground breaking Aquaire™ System for shoes, a performance marine shoe platform that is so unique, so effective that it makes boating and fishing shoes that came before obsolete!

We started with the wet traction performance of our exclusive Shark Grip™ shoe sole and an incredibly comfortable EVA midsole that provides comfort cushioning and absorbs shock without compromising shoe flexibility or stability. But the real magic of Aquaire starts in the foot bed of the shoe, which doesn’t absorb water—it channels it out of the foot compartment where it exits through the vented Aquaire arch support. And when the water is gone the system allows air to flow back into the shoe to promote rapid drying of the shoe and your feet for optimal comfort.

All Rugged Shark Aquaire equipped fishing shoes and boat shoes are designed for shoe comfort and performance, crafted using the finest quick drying shoe materials, and treated to prevent odors caused by bacteria that can inhabit wet shoe environments.

Aquaire isn’t just new, it is a revolutionary system that takes boat shoe performance to a whole new level! It’s available in a variety of shoe styles including performance sailing shoes, fishing shoes, aqua adventure footwear and hand sewn boat shoes including the Marlin 2, Scotto, Norwalk Westport, Swordfish Power S and Axis shoe styles.

Aquaire™ – the future of boat shoes has arrived and it’s only available from Rugged Shark!
