These shoes were a pleasant surprise. I've never owned a water shoe that looked like a regular shoe so I was skeptical but they held up great both in the water and on rocky terrain (although I probably wouldn't use them for that given their light sole). normal walking). These shoes also proved to be perfect airport shoes as they are easy to put on and take off and look like regular sneakers. Finally, I cannot stress enough how comfortable they are. I ended up wearing them for a lot more than just boating (which again I don't recommend as they are very light and probably not meant for everyday wear).
