When you know you’ll be hiking through a tropical rainforest, running a trail with stream crossings, or rafting a fat river, pull on your New Balance Men’s 920 Water Shoes. These water shoes fit like sneakers yet don’t feel sopped and squishy when wet like sneakers do. New Balance used its H2Flow technology in these shoes—holes above the soles let water and sand that comes in through the mesh uppers pour out with each step—to keep your feet dry and happy. Grippy Vibram outsoles with siping hold onto wet docks, rocks, and roots so you don’t land on your keister.

Bottom Line: We recommend wearing these sneakers without socks.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

No, only 8.0's. Also, I don't see that we are expecting any more any time soon- sorry sold out.

I wear these 3-4 times a week for power-walking in a pool and in just the few weeks I've had them, a marked improvement over the other brand. These happen to fit my feet very well and let me concentrate on my workout rather than my comfort. I'd buy a second pair if they had in stock.

Questionable function?

I used to run up and down river beds in northern Italy with Teva sandals. When I saw these, I was so happy a shoe was finally designed for my hobby. That being said, I never use these. They seem to be designed perfectly with mesh fabric, drainage ports, and a rubber insole. But, when you're not actually in the water, the rubber insole creates alot of friction with your bare skin, making you wish you were wearing socks. Of course, if you're wearing socks, the shoe doesn't work so well when you're in the water. My hope was that they had designed a trail shoe you could take into the water, but I don't think they're quite there. I prefer my old Tevas over these.

On another note, I run in nothing but NB and these fit differently. I wear a 14, but these are a little shorter than most NB 14s.

I actually don't have a problem with these shoes without socks. Though, I do prefer to wear them with socks on dry trails. If the trail is wet, I either wear socks and take them off if the trail is very wet or I don't wear socks at all.

Dumb Question, is it 12 ounce for the pair or per shoe?

Ryan,

Sorry to correct you but it is actually 12 oz per shoe. A 6 oz shoe would be something along the lines of a lightweight track spike.

per pair (not a dumb question 6 oz. difference in a shoe is pretty massive if they are on the lighter end)

I love these shoes. I wear them on many different trails. They are great on trails with small river or stream crossings.
