These shoes were recommended to me by your excellent customer support staff for the Tough Mudder event, and let me tell you, they were a HIT!!!!! These shoes stayed on tight for the whole 12 miles of thick mud and water and 26 military-style obstacles. Their ability to drain water and mud was phenomenal! I did not end up with one single blister! Their traction is so good, that when I scaled the 18-foot muddy, oiled wall, these shoes grabbed right on and I made it to the top in one long stride! My wife and I own 7 different Merrell shoes between us, and once again, these shoes performed as top-notched as expected!!!!

I bought these as an alternative to having a pair of water shoes and hiking shoes when I'm hiking. I realized that after wearing them that they were rubbing my pinky toes raw and hurt my soles because the lack of cushioning. If you just need a pair of $90 beach or dock shoes these are great and look fantastic, but don't plan on being able to wear these for a long time with a 30 pound pack on your back.

nice. Just what I wanted. Had an older pair and this one is much better. Like everything. Runs small.

I bought these for my husband. They are a very light shoe and extremely comfortable. The openess assists his in breathing. My husband is in love with them.

Just the right use: Owned for a couple years, used on several boating and hiking trips on and around lakes and rivers. (Mead/Powell/Havasu) Just the right fit: good sized toe box, lets the toes comfortably spread out yet hugs the foot enough to where it doesn’t feel bulky. Nice and secure. Won’t slip off getting in and out of the water. Just the right protection: toes much better protected than any open toed sandals. Sole is just thin enough so that you can feel the terrain yet just thick enough to protect your foot from any sharp objects. Just the right amount of traction: non-marking sole for keeping the boat neat and tidy and great traction for rock scrambling. Just the right amount of ventilation: well ventilated for quick dry from water or sweaty feet. Just the right weight: light weight yet doesn’t feel flimsy. Just the right durability: I haven’t broken them yet, that’s a good sign… Just the right look: looks good at the docks, looks good on the trail. Just right

These sound like "just the right" water shoes for you! That is so great the WaterPro Manistee's have been on so many boat trips and trail adventures through the years with you. We appreciate your review.
