I love Keens and thought I was getting a good deal on this item until it arrived and I realized they are made of croc-like material. I obviously didn't read the description carefully enough.  However,  I wasn't unhappy with the item for this reason since they would be great waterproof all purpose summer shoe.  The problem with the shoe is that after months of wearing them,  my son continues to get blisters every time he wears them for a day.  I thought after many uses,  he would get calloused, but still he gets blisters!!! Do not buy this item if you plan to wear it for an extended time.
