announces the release of the RUSH Foot H2O collection.
“The H2O feet are an exciting new addition to our ever-growing collection of RUSH feet.”, says Steve Sherman, VP of Sales.

The best part, no foot shell is required!”

The RUSH Foot H2O collection of feet offer the same great durability and comfort of all the other RUSH feet, but now adds superior traction on slick surfaces.
From the shower to the pool, you won’t find a foot that provides this amount of grip and added confidence on slippery surfaces.
RULE OF THUMB — The RUSH Foot H2O is the ideal foot for all barefoot activities. Aggressive terrain activities require the use of a standard RUSH Foot® and foot shell.
