Really good shoes for the water. Another popped up during boogie boarding. They were needed for a sloppy, rocky 2-mile hike. They survived but didn't fully protect my legs from the rocky climbing and river crossing we did. They are designed for water but not for hiking. When hiking wet, it is better to take TEVA or something similar. As a reef shoe they worked very well. They only had one hike and 1 day of boogie boarding. No structural damage.
