These were comfortable and light weight. I purchased three different brands/designs of water shoes at the same time. These fit the best. I used them to walk out into the rocky beaches on our vacation. They really were awesome. The overall shoe dried fairly other than the inside foot support sole. This was expected as that is the same with all shoes. However if the sole was made with something that allowed water to dry out quickly or repel water that would be the only thing that could make this shoe better. Great product for a great price.
