This is a very high quality water shoe, light years ahead of the rest as far as durability. My only issue is it is not the most comfortable water shoe to be just wearing around, definitely wanna take it off as soon as you are out of the water. I typically just use my regular Tevas as water shoes anymore unless Im concerned about get cut or abraded on the sides or tops of my feet. Again great quality and durability and if you spend lots of time in water probably as good as you are gonna find. Would be good for kayaking as you are not walking most of the time
