We recommend renting canyoning shoes, which are the most suitable for the activity and guarantee the best possible safety.
If you prefer to wear your own shoes, we recommend having closed shoes with rubber soles and good ankle support.
You walk in the river bed; pebbles are slippery and there may be lichen on stones.
If you have sensitive feet, you can also wear socks.
We rent shoes suitable for this activity. Remember, you must reserve them when booking.
We do not accept water shoes ("jelly shoe" type) sold by major retailers that are suitable for the beach and not the mountains because they don't hold your ankles and don't have thick enough soles for mountain hiking.
For your safety, we advise against "City Sneakers", Converse, Bensimon, Stan Smith types, which have slippery soles.
