This product is listed as a water shoe but actually has a much wider application. I bought these shoes for use in the water, in and around the boat. They're great for this purpose, but because they fit well, have a soft compression tread, look sleek and stylish, and have hundreds of vent holes in the tread and mesh upper, they're a whole new invention in versatile summer footwear. . Very easy. No sweaty feet. Very comfortable sole, soft. I have a big bump on my left toe and the cloth upper is made out of a stretchy material that doesn't chafe. When these wear out I will buy more. I think they would work well as golf shoes too, very comfortable and easy for walking without socks.
