I got these to wear to Dollywood, which is an amusement park that has several wet rides. That place is pretty big and there was a lot of walking. I would usually wear flip flops so my feet weren't wet all day, but by the end of the day, my feet would hurt. These were the perfect remedy for that. While everyone I went with has sloshy shoes all day or their feet were hurting from all the walking, I was dry and comfortable. HUGE BONUS: they don't look like those cheap Wal-Mart water shoes. They look a lot like regular sneakers.
