Bought these for our trip to St. John in the USVI where we beach hop and hike to some beaches. I wore these all week and they did great! I got lots of compliments on them. Small rocks get stuck in the bottom holes but they didn't poke or hurt my feet. I could just feel it as I walked when it would happen so Id dig them out, no big deal. It didn't happen often. They dry very quickly and can take a beating of walking and hiking in them. Will buy again when these kick the bucket.
