ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to water sport footwear designed for placing on a foot of a wearer during gliding on the surface of water, with the bottom of the shoe sole contacting the water during the gliding process. The shoe includes a boot portion and a sole portion fixedly attached to the boot portion, while the sole portion is not considerably greater than the boot portion itself. A water channel is formed in the bottom of the sole portion, the channel extending from the heel portion to a distance towards the front portion. The sole has a composite base structure having a rigid upper plate and a softer, flexible bottom part integrally attached to each other. Alternatively, the bottom of the sole portion can be provided with a pair of channels equidistantly spaced on the opposite sides of the central water channel for increased control and maneuverability.
