Nicely executed fisherman's sandal in modern materials. Light, flexible, supportive, water resistant materials. Upper is flexible thermoplastic with cushioned mesh on the instep. Dual-density sole soft on the inside and moderately lugged on the outside. Good ankle support and frontal toe protection for a sandal. Easy on/off. They are similar to some Salomon's I purchased several years ago, but less expensive. The front toe cup, while protective, is somewhat restrictive and hampers breathability. Beach sand tends to pile up in there. Overall breathability is so-so. Decent arch support with a raised arch and negative heel cup molded into both insole and outsole. Deep cushioning on the heel gives a running shoe effect. Fair torsional rigidity; you're probably more likely to twist an ankle in these than in running shoes or sneakers but they seem better in that regard than most sandles. The lace could be a bit longer, I wear them fully extended and the instep is still rather tight. The last is semi-naturally shaped giving a fair amount of width at the ball of the foot; could be better. WHY aren't all shoes shaped like a foot??? They give a false sense of protection but are not ant-bite proof.  Do not stand for prolonged periods in an anthill; that is, if you are outside in Florida you better keep moving around all the time. While keeping a sharp lookout for sand spurs.
Looks are...who cares? You're cool because of what you're doing in them, not because of what you look like, right? Grooves in the insole fill up quickly with dead skin.  I consider this a design defect as there is no apparant reason beyond styling to have grooves in the insole. Got a small blister on the top of one toe, can't isolate the offending surface. I have 10.5 wide feet and sandals rarely come in half sizes (or widths), these are no exception. I am forced to choose between too-long sandals and endure the skindiver flipper effect, or too short and have my foot squeezed. Expirience has taught it is better to go small with sandals as they tend to stretch-fit easier than most other shoes. Dozers seem to resist stretching, though they have conformed enough to my foot after a month to be comfortable if rather snug.  Some day someone will make lightweight, waterproof, quick drying, breathable, insect and thorn proof shoe that doesn't smell after getting wet and comes in a wide size variety. If they are cool, supportive, well-cushioned and comfortable for standing, walking and running then I'll happily give them five stars. If they have a long-lasting sole with a bottle opener molded into it then I'll buy stock in the company. These ain't it, but they're pretty good for the money.  Cheers.
