These sandals are just great. I can hike in them, wear them to water events like crossing streams or water parks. Use them for walking around town, or just kicking back in them. Extremely comfortable with lots of padding. Great fit and great traction. I love to hike in them. Great on trails with excellent traction and I can go right through creeks with no problem. They even comfortably fit by big 'ol fat foot! Got rid of my water shoes for these. Just a great all around outdoor adventure sandal.
