Abstract: A watersports sandal is disclosed. The sandal has a flexible sole that underlies and protects a user's foot in a walking configuration. The sandal has a detachable forefoot strap that connects the sole to the user's forefoot and an ankle strap that connects the heel portion of the sole to the lower leg of the user. The sandal can be reconfigured to a stowed configuration in which the forefoot strap attaches the sole to a user's lower leg. In this stowed configuration, the user's bare feet are exposed to allow him fine sensitivity to water sport devices such as surf boards.
