Welcome to the Paddler Guide Gear Lab! Today we’re reviewing the ZKGs from ZHIK!
We are stoked to present you a new format across our different channels: Product Review Videos! From the studio and on the river, we introduce you to different products, tell you all the specs you need to know, and show you how they perform on the water.
The ZKG is built for paddling, kayaking, watersports and life beyond water. It delivers reliable grip, fast drying performance, and all-day comfort. Engineered to move on riverbanks, sandy beaches, and beyond, it features a breathable mesh upper and fast, one-way drainage channels that expel water efficiently.

« Not only they are paddling shoes, but you can definitely wear them casually in town. »
At only 300 g per shoe, this redeveloped bestseller takes in years of experience from Zhik in the sailing industry and combines functional water performance with clean, skate-inspired styling for water enthusiasts who transition effortlessly between water and land.
Find the ZKGs on the Paddler Guide website or on the Zhik website.
