When it comes to life on the water, footwear often gets overlooked. Too many shoes either look good but fall apart when exposed to salt and spray, or offer rugged durability with none of the comfort you want for long days on your feet. Fishooz by Dryshod USA was created to solve that problem. Designed specifically for anglers, boaters, and coastal adventurers, Fishooz delivers performance and style in equal measure—footwear you can trust on the deck that still looks sharp at the dockside bar.

Among the collection, two standouts rise above the rest: the rugged DryRun series and the lightweight, versatile Sunbrella line for both men and women. Together, they showcase exactly why Fishooz has become the go-to for those who demand more from their water shoes.

The Dryrun - Built for the Elements

Conditions on the water are anything but predictable. Spray coats the deck, fish slime slicks the floor, and sudden summer storms can turn calm seas into chaos. Ordinary sneakers weren’t made for that kind of abuse. The DryRun series was built for it.

At its core, the DryRun is about protection. 100% waterproof construction, a neoprene bootie sealed with a natural rubber shell keeps feet dry even in heavy spray or standing water. This isn’t just “water-friendly.” It’s gear you can trust when conditions get tough.

The design is reinforced where it matters most. Protective toe and heel panels add durability for long days on deck, while a Dureva™ outsole with Starliner tread grips wet surfaces with ease. From pulling cast nets in the creek to handling lines offshore, the DryRun is built to keep you steady.

Despite its rugged exterior, comfort hasn’t been overlooked. Inside, a breathable airmesh lining ensures airflow, keeping feet cool even on sweltering summer days. Available in both shoe-height and ankle height versions, the DryRun gives you options depending on the level of coverage you prefer.

Style also plays a role. Offered in colorways like Blue/White, Ghost/White, and Splotch/Blue, the DryRun proves that performance doesn’t have to be boring. Priced between $119 and $129, it’s an investment for those who treat time on the water as more than a pastime it’s a way of life.

The Sunbrella - Sun, Sand, and Effortless Style

While the DryRun is built for tackling rough conditions, the Sunbrella series is all about enjoying the calmer moments. Designed for dock parties, casual boating, and long walks on the sand, Sunbrella shoes deliver breezy comfort with the same attention to durability that defines the brand.

The secret lies in the fabric. Premium Sunbrella® material, trusted in marine upholstery for decades, makes up the upper. Fade resistant, stain resistant, and tough enough to withstand salt and sun, this fabric ensures your shoes won’t wear out after a single season by the coast.

The line is available in both men’s and women’s sizes, with slip-on and lace-up styles to suit your preference. Each design includes thoughtful details like padded collars, PU sockliners, and breathable linings for all day comfort. Whether you’re headed to the marina or strolling through town, the Sunbrella is built to keep up.

And then there’s the style factor. Offered in crisp colorways like Navy/White, Sand/Off White, and timeless All White, the Sunbrella blends seamlessly with coastal wardrobes. Pair them with board shorts, sundresses, or a favorite pair of jeans they’re versatile enough to go wherever the day takes you. At $64–70, they’re proof that durability and design don’t have to come at a premium price.

Why Fishooz Makes the Difference

Plenty of brands make “water shoes,” but few truly capture the balance between toughness and style. That’s what sets Fishooz apart.

The DryRun delivers uncompromising performance when conditions demand it—waterproof, reinforced, and built for grip on slick decks. The Sunbrella, on the other hand, is a testament to effortless coastal living, offering lightweight comfort and stylish versatility for sunny days by the sea.

Both share the same DNA: breathable linings, thoughtful design, and materials engineered to withstand sun, salt, and spray. Fishooz doesn’t ask you to choose between form and function it gives you both.

From Charleston’s Creeks to the Open Sea

Here in Charleston, footwear is more than fashion, it’s functional. It’s what keeps you steady while hauling in a cast net, and what lets you step straight from the boat ramp to a dockside dinner without a second thought.

Fishooz by Dryshod USA captures that spirit perfectly. With the DryRun and Sunbrella collections, they’ve created shoes that serve both sides of coastal life: the hardworking, water soaked reality and the laid back, sun soaked escape.

For those who call the coast home or for anyone lucky enough to spend time here Fishooz is more than footwear. It’s part of the rhythm of the water, carrying you from early mornings on the creek to evenings by the harbor. From coast to cast, Fishooz proves that the right gear doesn’t just fit the lifestyle it defines it.
