If you can somehow imagine the Crocs matching the Fila sneakers but much more durable and uncomfortable. That's how I would describe it, it's practically waterproof, if you get wet it dries out. That's not to say you go for a walk on the river and it won't get wet, but if you give it time to air it dries up and I get wet feet all the time and it's a great pair shoes, and I'll probably buy another pair next week or two
