This shoe used to be just a river shoe, but Teva has improved the heel and the entire outsole to be better off-road and even hiking than previous generations. Love it, now it's a great off-road and water shoe, wears in the ball of the sole for me in previous generations. Very durable, well made and worth the money compared to cheaper fakes. Save the planet and buy this product that lasts longer, serves you better and is also made from recycled polyester. I'm barely a size 12 and it's a little bigger. Overall the product is A+++.
