I bought these when my intended summer-sandals fell to pieces after a month, but then I guess you get what you pay.

SATISFIED
I used these shoes all summer and even a few months after - always barefoot.  They were my primary daily shoe working at a summer camp.  As a lake lifeguard, I am regularly in and out of the water while hauling boats.  They protected my feet from rocks and boats, they drained well, and if I wanted a dry shoe, I could slip them off and after about five minutes in the sun, they were good to go.

I also frequent the woods and unlike some of the more open sandals, these shoes did a good job of keeping my foot from being jabbed by sticks.

For having been barefoot for months throughout the foot-smelliest (summer) time of year, I haven't noticed any shoe odor.

DISSATISFIED
After about two or three months as a primary and barefoot shoe, I noticed that the skin on my heels splitting and becoming painful.  They required extra healing lotion.  I have never had a sandal or any other type of shoe do this to my feet.

Superficial error, but there nonetheless, the leather of one of my shoes either arrived (or happened after the first time I got it wet) with a wrinkled appearance.

Because these shoes got the job done, but prolonged use caused mild discomfort.
