Very comfortable, well made and VERY light.  Easy to wear for extended periods of time.  Dried quickly once out of the water.  Actually used them to hike for a short distance - only one problem the path was "stoned" with small stones that fit almost perfectly into the holes in the sole.  At the end of the path I had to stop and remove about 20 small stones from the soles - but it wasn't really a big deal.  Soles are so flexible that I just bent the shoe to allow the stones to fall out.  Can't recommend them for hiking on paths with small stones, but short of that, I think that they are excellent and durable.  I would definitely buy these shoes again.  Best pair of "water shoes" that I have had out of 7-8 different types!
