I love the look and feel of this shoe.  But, walking just 10 steps I realized that my pinky toes were working their way out one of the side vents.  I have very standard toes... so I was surprised that the design lined up with the pinky toes this way.  I could foresee serious blisters.  I have had a pair of Keen Water Shoes that I loved and completely wore out... so, I'm still on the look-out.  This may be the kind of shoe I'll have to go to the store and try on... because there is nothing worse than a hiking/water shoe that fits funny.  I returned this item.
