  • Lasted about 50 rough miles
Color: Black Size: 12 Women/11 Men
Great fit, drains well, and triple stitched. I was even pleasantly surprised by the grip of the soles on wet surfaces. They do a great job of keeping gravel / sand out. Though I did have some get trapped between the inner fabric liner and outer fabric, which took some coaxing to get back out through the drain holes. Only cons are as other reviews commented, they dont dry quickly. The reason I am docking a star is while these have outlasted any other watershoe I have ever used, I was hoping to get closer to 100 miles out of them for the high price point. At this durability level I will have to buy a new pair every year instead of every other. The point of failure is the seam on the outside of my right foot. Its torn loose and I dont suspect it will hold up much longest before tearing completely through. For reference, I float a very low river that requires frequent hiking and towing the canoe along. So if I float 15miles I have to spend roughly half of that on my feet. So when I say these lasted 50 miles, I mean closer to 25 on foot. ... show more

  • No toe protection but otherwise amazing
Color: Black Size: 11 Women/10 Men
These are really amazing and work so much better for good traction on slippy rocks. But when you do slip and slam your toe, its going to hurt really bad. This is a common occurrence for anyone on the river, these should be built a little better

  • These seem to be exactly what I needed
Color: Black Size: 11 Women/10 Men
This is my first impression of the shoes after receiving them. I have not used them in the water but they came highly recommended from a friend who has worn them a long time. I will edit this review after some water time. The first thing I noticed was the quality. These do not look cheap in quality. The comfort when I put them on is amazing. The insole feels like a slight rubbery surface which you would expect from a water shoe. All around the ankle is a very soft material and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt. I really like the strap that holds the shoelaces in place and gives extra support to the ankle. I've been wearing them around the house to break them in but they already feel broken in. I will be using these in my kayak on rivers and also the coastal backwaters. I need protection. I feel these shoes are going to be great. I've had some shoes (sandals) that always allow small sticks, sand and sea shells under my foot. Drives me crazy. About the time you launch your kayak you take a step and feel a sharp pain because a shell or stick is wedged under your foot. One of the reasons I bought these was to eliminate that problem. If I'm camping on a river, these shoes should act as a pretty good hiking boot to go exploring as well. I'm very happy with initial impression. I will report back after some water time. ... show more

  • I like 'em!
I do the barefoot thing. It may be a fad, but these shoes work well for the style. The rubber soles are thin, but still gives the feel of that springy rubber pellet jungle gym flooring from when you were a kid, while walking on concrete. They're not the most minimal of minimal soles, but they still keep your natural gait. These shoes also fix the big problem of barefoot style shoes, looking like a lunatic to your friends. I actually get *complimented* with these shoes. They are rubbery so I can't imagine they're good in hot climates. They're designed for constant wet environments, so they don't do great outside of that. ... show more

  • Not as great as the seem
Lets start with the cons: first the fact that there is TAPE holding the excess stitching to the sole of a WATER shoe that costs $125 is just lazy and poor craftsmanship. (You can see this in the picture I’ve provided.) I understand that the seams are glued as well but for a top of the line price point I expect top of the line quality. Secondly, the Velcro strap doesn’t secure the laces tightly with out having a large amount of the Velcro strap dangling from the side of the shoe. This is defeats the purpose of the Velcro strip because now the piece of the shoe that keeps your laces from snagging on your boat / gear is getting caught on everything. This could have easily been avoided by either shortening the strip itself or adding additional area for the Velcro to stick on the side of the shoe. The picture provided shows the Velcro with full contact with the pad on the side of the shoe showing how much room is between the strip and the laces. The other picture shows how much excess Velcro there is when fully tightened. With the bad out of the way, let’s move to the good. The grip is absolutely insane on the puppies. Additionally, they are very flexible and seemingly weightless while you’re wearing them. The insulation around the ankle is on point. Walking around in the shoe gives a very ‘’close to the ground’’ feel. Being able to notice or feel the details of your boat or the ground is helpful. All in all I’m disappointed with the quality of the shoe for how much they cost. If these were in the $60-$90 dollar range, I could understand the compromise. However, if they last me a few seasons I’ll be happy. ... show more
