I've done hiking and mountain biking with these, and they are great. Very good shock absorption in the sole (it feels solid, not hollow like some I've had), and the many straps distribute the load so nothing is rubbing.
Pros
Does exactly as advertised
Cons
Unappealing appearance - the sandals lack style and have been described as "clunky" and "ugly".
Purchased for my sons end of year field trip to six flags. They stayed on his feet on roller coasters and various water rides while being comfortable for all the walking that was required.
Pros
Good fit and comfortable
Cons
Pricey - compared to other outdoor sandal options on the market, Atika Men's Ares Outdoor Sandals are on the expensive side, making them less accessible to budget-conscious shoppers
These are really good. Until now I've bought better know brands for 2 or 3 times the price that lat 2 Summers. These I've had a month or two and are as good. I expect them to last like their much more expensive alternatives
Pros
Seems also quite durable, given the low price
Cons
Poor traction - the soles are slippery and do not provide enough grip on various terrains.
I bought these as a second pair of shoes on a cross country trip and these were the only ones I wore. I used them for hiking, water and all around shoes. They held up under all those conditions and more.
Pros
My husband just loves these water shoes!! He says they are the best!!
Cons
They work but the sizing is off and not comfterble. Spend a little extra and get something else.
who says you cant wear sock with sandals?these are great. feet breath and stay dry. can wear with BLACK socks and they look fine.will be keeping a pair of closed toe sandals in stock for life. very happy with this purchase.
Pros
Comfortable and durable
Cons
Unsupportive design - the footbed offers little arch support and can lead to foot pain and discomfort on long hikes.
I started off with the Flarut which was pure disappointment. The Atika has many advantages: first of all it's made better, second of all it's more comfortable, and third, it's one of the few sandals in this style that you'll find that doesn't rely on velcro. I had a pair of Atika sandals before for several years. They eventually started coming apart but that was after I wore them in saltwater and beat the crap out of them and they were a totally different style sandal but they are still…
Pros
Very comfortable, light and snug fit.
Cons
Poor breathability - the materials used do not allow for proper ventilation and can leave feet feeling sweaty and uncomfortable.
OK, Just got these , Ordered the 10s insted of 11s, Im a 10.5 all day, and they are perfect. Dont know how they will hold up, but they havnt left my feet in 3 hours, super light, but a great sole, super comfortable. breath like being barefoot. Ill readvise if things go south.
Pros
Good fit, wide foot box.
Cons
Heavier than expected - some customers were surprised by the weight of the sandals, making them less comfortable for extended use.
