When stepping ashore, the SON-r Bungee ($90) from Sperry Top-Sider will be a welcome companion for climbing over slippery rocks or wading through the shallows. Designed with Sperry’s patented SON-r technology, carefully positioned pods on the shoe’s outsole work with interior pads to give the wearer an almost barefoot feel, providing a sense of what’s
underfoot while still retaining the comfort of shoes. The SON-r Bungee’s Hydro-grip rubber outsole provides traction on wet surfaces, and the antimicrobial lining and mesh material help the shoes dry quickly. Sperry Top-Sider, 800-247-6575;
