These are the perfect water shoe for what I wanted.  I want ones that I can do yard work in, as well as take to a water park, splash pad, beach, or whatever.  So they can handle getting wet, but also drain well and do NOT hold water or sand.  Also, it has a toe cover material that makes it stronger than other simple mesh water shoes.  The front loop also helps it slide on easier.  Finally, they're actually pretty comfortable and have good cushion in the sole for walking around in.  My old TEVAs that have lasted me a decade were sturdy and high quality, but they have reaked of a foul stench for a long time because they were not as breathable / drainable as these.
