I love this shoe for hiking! I don't have to worry about getting it wet or walking in water and my shoe being super heavy. The drain and quick dry technology works great! The only things I don't like about this shoe is the fitting, It is very comfortable but its a little narrow and takes some time to break in. I have some blisters from breaking these shoes in to be prepared. Also don't expect these shoes to grip underwater because you can slip. Above water its great, Most of the time on wet surfaces I do not have a problem. SO over all I love this shoe and it is my go to outdoor shoe during the spring and summer.
