I love these water shoes. They are perfect for everyday use as well as hiking. I live near areas where I go to creeks and do a lot of walking through water and streams. I've never once slipped and it is amazing. I even wore these with socks and hiked Angel's Landing in them. My only regret with doing that was that on my down I could feel every single pebble that hit my foot. But in the newer version of this shoe they started putting memory foam support. Which is great. But I find that my feet get clammy and don't dry as quickly.
