“I haven't had a need to wear as water shoes yet, so take this for what it's worth. I can give my initial impressions though. They are extremely light and feel very comfortable (that is why I went ahead and answered the question above "how long can you wear comfortably"). They were much easier than my previous water shoes to put on, but may be partially due to the overall bigger size (and is the reason I am posting now). I would suggest if questioning size to go smaller (if between sizes, etc.). These have better toe protection than my previous ones and firmer, more protective sole, so I expect them to protect my feet in the river better. They are a little bit too large, but not enough to return. I cannot speak to the functionality or durability as of yet, but it LOOKS and FEELS to me that they will drain and dry fast. I look forward to trying them out as intended. They look pretty good too. I took one star because I think they are just a bit long for the size stated and wanted to get that posted to those considering. I hope they will hold up as they are very comfortable.”
“Bought this pair for my rafting trip. A little tired of the old heavy Keen. This pair far exceeds my expectations. Very comfortable, very light, yet it is very good in holding onto my feet. It did not once fell or washed loose from my feet when I was in the water. Very easy to wash clean. Definitely recommend this to anyone goes for water activities.”
