I have been searching for shoes like this for a long time! Great for multi-outdoorsy sports, pull-laces makes it very convenient, and it's also very light and can also be worn as slip-on! It is scratchy when you go sockless but what you can do is use a nail filer and just smooth out the areas that irritate you. You have to be careful filing down as you don't want to tear any threads, but it does the magic getting rid of the rough spots. The sizing tag is sewn right by the inner ankle area so I had to file the tag down a little and it's good to go! Loving it and it's also a very nice color; the picture is true to color and size. I ordered the Teva Women's Churn Water Shoe Bungee Cord in 8.5 medium.
