I bought these shoes for an upcoming trip to the beach.  Im diabetic so I have been concerned about stepping on anything that could injure my feet.  I LOVE these shoes!  First, they are so comfortable that they are now my go to shoes for just about everything. I don't like any shoe that doesnt fit securely on my foot so these are a perfect replacement for flip flops because they are so breathable.  I love that I can wear them in the water and it just flows right through. I cant say enough great thing about these shoes.  I love them!
