This shoe is incredibly comfortable, even right out of the box. I bought them for a water hike/kayaking outing, and they seem perfect! The elastic lacing is easily adjustable without having to bother with actual laces, which means the shoes can hug tightly if you want secure footing on slippery rocks or hang a bit loosely if you're on a more casual outing. The back heel folds down to make a clog-style shoe, and is comfortable to walk on. I didn't even notice the feel of the heel after testing it out.

These shoes grip incredibly well, even on wet surfaces. I love the colors (stylish, not so girly that I feel embarrassed to wear them, rugged enough to match my outdoor clothing, and dark-colored enough to hide dirt/mud), and they are casual enough to wear into restaurants or bars, too. Mine fit like a glove, and I love wearing them.

Only downside: as with most sandals, my feet start to stink a bit when they sweat and I don't have socks to wick away the moisture. However, this is only problematic on dry hikes---water activities mean my feet get rinsed enough that this isn't much of an issue. And these shoes were made for water sports. They are absolutely perfect for canoe/kayak/rafting trips, or for waterfall hikes.
