Bought these as camp shoes to rest my feet after a long day of hiking or backpacking, and for light creek crossings to replace my heavy Chacos. Pretty light weight, if that's something you care about. Easy to slip on and off, but also secure and versitile. Have not tried them for light creek-crossings yet, but hope to at some point; I'm not sure they would have good traction for slippery rocks, but the right conditions with trekking poles and they'd be fine. Size was perfect - I didn't size up or down; roomy enough to let toes breathe and even put on thick socks if needed. The footbed isn't super supportive, but I didn't expect them to be. They fit the bill for my specific purposes (lightweight, non-absorbant, resting tired feet in camp), but wouldn't see myself wearing them around town or the house for many hours.
