I bought these to keep sand fleas off my feet while camping and to keep the feeling of being barefoot. Even though the size is right, I still feel like I'm in clown shoes. I still love them for their convenience and versatility. I've worn them kayaking and every outdoor adventure. They've held up well from oyster beds to hikes in the woods. My only downside: unless you can joke about it a lot, think about the brown color of baby poop before you buy it. 😏😁
