Review on VIFUUR Barefoot Water Sports Shoes: Quick-Dry Aqua Yoga Socks For Men And Women by Brian Thao

These are very light weight, thin, not rugged, fairly quick drying, and from tan lines on foot appear to give excellent photoprotection (at least tanning protection for certain).They are stretchable but not tightly "elastic," so can come off easily in mud (think feet sinking into lake bottom a half inch or an inch) or if jump off watercraft and do a little swimming with something like a scissors kick. They seem to protect my soles from small sunken tree branches on the lake bottom while launching/landing kayak. If I decide to cool my heels by dumping my feet overboard for a moment, if I leave my feet on the hull just outside the kayak so water runs back into the lake rather than the kayak, the shoes "drain" back into the lake in a matter of a few seconds, and I get almost no water inside the kayak bringing my feet/shoes back inside after that few seconds.When I look for my next pair, will try to get something that comes higher on the foot toward the ankle, so less worry about them slipping off in muck (have had some close calls) or while swimming (have come almost completely off).In hot weather, in the garage, hanging up, the shoes completely dry in a matter of hours. Note that I leave the insole in. It is loose, unattached in any way, and easy to remove.
