So I was embarking on a journey where I would find myself in sketchy waters where barefoot is not an option. I set out onto my favorite website, Amazon.com, to search for something I had not owned in 20 years. A water shoe. Little did I know, I would step into a veritable minefield of in-fighting and back biting.

Here is the skinny.

I was rather nervous about this purchase. This was the highest rated shoe available with the median review being something like, "yes I enjoyed it, but it fell apart" or "this shoe broke up my marriage".

I used these pretty heavily in the jungle and at no time did I feel any sole slippage in the shoe (wet or dry) nor did I feel like I was about to lose my footing on rocks, soil or the occasional snake.

Purchase this shoe, take decent care of it and you will be just fine.
