“I bought these for a cruise. We are avid cruisers and the last "water shoes" I had the sole came unglued from it. These shoes are great. They are lightweight, flexible, airy, and tough. I have worn them since on trips to the lake and hikes through the woods to beaches. The price was a little higher than I wanted to spend, but I am also cheap. I am glad I spent the extra few bucks though. I can see these lasting for a while. The foam soles also make these shoes surprisingly comfortable. I will probably buy these again when I need a new pair.... probably not for a while. They probably have about 18-20 miles on them now and have no flaws. I will say the hole on the bottom occasionally pick up small rocks that you have to pluck out. Not a huge issue for me. I recommend these to anyone interested in new water shoes.”
