Perfect for an inexpensive water shoe. I could have spent more than $100 for sneaks for our trip to Kauai, Hawaii, but was thankful I bought these. My son's foot grew so much since to summer, I had to buy him a new, name brand pair in Poipu (on sale) for $75. We didn't do major hikes, but these were fine for crazy downpour rain, rocky beaches and wet trails. They look like a $130 of Nike sneakers. The strings to tighten the sneakers was too long for me and dragged on the ground a bit. That's my only complaint.
