This is a great water shoe.  We are very active and work our products heavily.  Water shoes that don't have proper support across the top of your foot will get torn off your foot like a wet, weighted, ankle sock, BUT not this one.  My daughter wore these through a no-kidding flash flood on a river and they never left her feet.  My wife had the same in a different color and hers were equally excellent.  No tearing, no seams coming apart, and it stayed snug on the foot.  AND it was a great price.
