Review on Stylish and Comfortable Viakix 👟 Athletic Outdoors Women's Shoes in Athletic Designs by Paul Varnado

Purpose: I bought these for kayaking and a tourist trip to Ecuador. Due to sizing and color issues after 2 returns, I received the correct ones just in time to toss in my bag and hope for the best! We kayaked through the Revane rainforest jungle for 5 days and then toured the capital Quito for 4 days. They walked, waded and hiked many kilometers. I usually wear 7.5-8 and bought 8 first. Too big. Returned for a 7 because the size wasn't 1/2. Perfect Fit BUT SENT WRONG COLOR! I came back AGAIN and was given the correct sandals the day before we left (thanks Revane for the quick and easy return!). No time to break them in! I am a very active 55 year old male with heel spurs on both feet. I NEED good shoes. I bought these based on good support ratings and they didn't disappoint! SO GOOD in the jungle! Good hold, great hold, dries quickly and when they get dirty they can be cleaned by simply rinsing in the river! After finding success in the jungle, I decided to wear them "on the street" to walk around town for a full day. Wonderful! We walked 10 miles and although my feet were a little sore I didn't have the severe heel pain that I have with other sandals. I usually buy Vionics, but they were MUCH nicer and cheaper than anything Vionics makes. Photos: A shot taken from a kayak on the Tiputini River in the Revane rainforest. These shoes are GREAT for jumping out of a kayak into muddy terrain to urinate! Other photos show a view of Quito, Ecuador, after a long climb up the mountain, and one of mine is on the equator. I will buy this brand again!
