“A good shoe for the money. I had to hike 2 miles into a spot on the river and they held up fine and i got no blisters. Feet were a bit sore when I got back to the truck but that was 4+ miles of hiking in them which they are not designed for. On the river I had good traction and my feet did not get cut up walking through rocks in and out of the water. They do tend to collect sand but that's just a trade off for good drainage. They fit as expected because I expected them to run slightly big. I wear a 9 so I got an 8.5.”
