“I did a 4.5 mile Mud Run then a 3.8 mile Mud Run the day after, both had obstacles to conquer. The main issue I had was the outside of my little toes rubbed too much and wore the skin off. Decent to run in, kept about a 10 minute mile pace. They do not allow the particles of sand to exit as some of the other cross terrain watershoes do. I am still pleased with them, will continue to use them.”
“UPDATE 2/22/2021: I still love these shoes and wanted to post an update - a first for me. They are still going strong and are pretty much my daily shoe now.Between my job as a wilderness guide and my frequent hikes on my off time, I have easily put hundreds of miles on these shoes. Aside from an abrasion on the upper mesh of the left shoe, caused by some rough terrain, they still look fantastic. The soles have some wear, but it's barely noticeable and I am incredibly impressed.Frankly, the only complaint I have is that I can't seem to find them in the same size and color that I originally ordered them in, which to me just isn't that big of a deal and obviously doesn't reflect on the quality of the product.I still stand by my original review. These are excellent and I WILL be buying more of them.•••ORIGINAL REVIEW (posted about 4 months after purchase): I love these shoes. I work as a wilderness guide so I'm in boots most of the day. In camp I used to wear Chacos, but I hated lugging them around so I wanted something light AND comfortable to replace them. Hiitave absolutely NAILED IT with these shoes!They fit well, protect the bottoms of my feet, and are very comfortable. Plus, they let my feet breathe so they aren't too stinky (BIG plus, trust me). On top of that, they dry pretty darn quickly, which is always nice.I rarely post reviews, let alone for footwear, and yet I felt compelled to express my feelings about these. I want to shout it from a mountaintop (and easily could in my line of work). Get these shoes!”
