Except for the toes, these are nice shoes.  The downside is if you are wading in a sandy lake, you will end up with sand in your shoe as opposing to a more open water sandal.  If you are walking in puddles, or in a pool, then this is a perfect shoe.  The toe section is a touch uncomfortable and pinches a bit.  Haven't worn them enough to break them in, but then that isn't a good sign if you have to break in sneakers. :)
