I picked these up to be be some summer knock about shoes.  I am a big guy, so hurting feet is always an issue.  Thise babies keep the hurt away.

I wear them with out socks, mostly because it can be a pain to put them on with socks on - there is enough friction, the socks pull and bunch around the entry of the foot.  The other pet peeve I have with summer shoes - my feet get too hot, I can gladly say that my feet do not sweat in these, they air out well, and keep dry.

So to recap, the shoes are very comfortable, cool, and keep my feet dry, and therefore the shoes do not smell.  Plus they wash really easy.

So why 4 stars, I only give 5 to truly outstanding products.  These are highly recommended.
