Held up really well for tubing on the river. Nice and thick like a real shoe with little holes in the sole of the shoe. There is a mesh type bottom to the shoe that looks like a regular shoe bottom. Pull on style was roomy but not overly large. I wear a size 10.5 and got an 11 . They fit really well and look like regular shoes so went from dry to water which is a huge bonus!!!!! I have had water shoes every summer different brands and types. I love the sturdy build of the shoe. I was able to put in my scuba sock inside the shoe... it was comfortable and felt very sturdy for walking in river with rocks! I lost one shoe and will definitely buy another pair before my cruise in January!!! Must have for serious water shoe protection with a shoe style!
