I bought this pair of shoes to wear on the beach while I was walking.  I didn't expect this shoe to be so comfortable on land though!!  This is a great shoe if you are going from "water to land" or "land to water".  I used this shoe when I was exercising on vacation and purposely wore it to walk 3+ miles of my workout. This shoe fit extremely well and offered great support to me feet.  While sand did get in the shoes, it was only after being in the ocean and this sand was easy to wash out and "keep going".  I had almost no sand when walking in dry sand that was not "packed down".  I was able to run in the lose sand and still did not get much sand in the shoes.  These shoes dry very quickly and don't cause blisters or sore spots.  They also ran true to size and were easy to put on and very comfortable.  When they were wet they were a little bit harder to put on, but once on, they fit great!!

These shoes seem like they would be very good walking on "slippery surfaces" as well as dry surfaces. The only "slippery surface" I walked on was a long pier and even after walking in the rain, this shoe seemed to have a good tread. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who is active in all terrains.  These shoes were absolutely worth the money and whenever these wear out I will be back to purchase another pair.  I also purchased my husband a pair of the "men's version" and he was equally pleased.
