Designed to roam.

Nomads began with a simple idea: your footwear should help you enjoy the day, not get in the way of it.

Adventure everywhere.

For too long, people have had to choose between cheap water shoes that feel uncomfortable and rarely survive the trip, or expensive tennis shoe footwear designed for far more than most days require. So we created a better option.

Nomads Free Form Footwear gives you the lightweight comfort of going barefoot with added protection underfoot. A flexible, cut-resistant ArmorFlex™ Kevlar® sole helps protect against rocks, shells, hot surfaces and rough terrain, while the stretch upper and adjustable closure create a secure, comfortable fit.

They roll up easily, dry quickly and take up almost no room in a beach bag, backpack, suitcase or glove box. Wear them at the beach, around the campground, through a water park, on a paddleboard or wherever the day takes you.

Built on 45 Years of Outdoor Materials Experience

Nomads is backed by Glacier Outdoor, a company that has spent nearly 45 years developing performance gear for the elements.

We have combined advanced materials, specialized manufacturing and application-focused engineering to solve complex environmental challenges. Our expertise in neoprene, waterproof construction, hybrid materials and global sourcing allows us to design products that balance protection, comfort and performance in demanding conditions. Nomads brings that experience to every pair, using purposeful materials and thoughtful construction to help people move comfortably through water, heat and changing terrain.

That experience shapes every part of Nomads, from the materials we choose to the way each pair fits, flexes and protects. We combine proven outdoor-material expertise with thoughtful construction to create footwear that feels good, performs when needed and remains affordable for the whole family.
