Review on Aleader Men'S Aquatic Quick-Dry Water Shoes For Outdoor Activities by Nathan Jankowski

These are a pretty basic water shoe. I originally bought them just for rowing, to have shoes to carry the boat to the water and on the dock. However, more recently I've tried using them for short trail hikes, at the beach, kayaking, and I think that there are likely much better solutions out there.Pros)* Self-bails quickly. You won't ever have water sloshing under your foot* Dries relatively fast in dry environments* Very lightweight* So far have been fairly durable* Insoles are removable to help dryCons)* Stones constantly get stuck in the holes that need to be fished out* While not slippery on surfaces like concrete, there's basically no tread on the bottom for hiking* Upper mesh isn't fine enough to keep sand out of the shoe* Ankle cuff idoesn't seal tight enough to keep sand/debris out, so always get uncomfortable crud under-foot* Tongue doesn't really stay in place, sometimes can be pretty uncomfortable, fold up over itself.* Probably not unique to this shoe - they'll *really* smell bad if they don't dry out quickly and were in river/lake water
