I did not have high expectations of these because they are water shoes and mesh, but that being said I wore these on a hike down to a river, through the river and back up the other side of the mountain and they were great.  They had great foot bed protection and slip guard.  Also did some repelling on the same trip and they worked no problems.  Body rafting, again, great!  They are Puerto Rico hike worn and approved.  Funniest was on the same trip 2 others had the same ones via Amazon!
