Love these shoes! I bought them for a trip to St. Lucia to use during water activities and hikes. I crossed rivers and waded along waterfalls with these on. They were extremely comfortable and dried easily. I also wore shoes as I hiked the piton which is 2600 feet high of muddy rocky trails. My feet felt great! Look forward to more water activities in the summer with these on my feet.

I got these to wear while fly fishing for bonefish in the Bahamas. They exceeded my expectations in every way. I was able to comfortably stand on the flats. No nicks and scratches from shells and coral. I'd certainly buy them again.

You must have the life! We are so glad they were able to make the fishing trip and hope they brought you luck. That is great the Vibram soles held up well against the shells and coral. Thank you for the review, now get back out there and catch some fish!

I was looking for something that would be comfortable for anything, and not make my size 11 feet look more ginormous than they already are. I am 50 years old, and these are the first pair of shoes that I have ever been COMPLETELY happy with and met both requirements. Not having to 'settle' for comfort only is such a treat. Thank you!

It's true, if I had but one shoe to wear all day, it would be this one. I was looking for the perfect "water shoe" for crossing deep creeks when backpacking -- that would double for an evening around the campfire shoe to relax in -- and it had to be SUPER LIGHT. This shoe goes 'way beyond perfect! (I ordered a half-size up and it's perfect!)

I just tromped all over Europe in these great shoes. They do tend to run small, so I could not wear socks with my size ten, but they were so easy to wash and dry that "no socks" did not seem to be a problem. They are especially great for gripping going over all the uneven cobblestones and rough terrain of some of the ruins! I have a very narrow heel and can seldom wear regular width shoes, but the elastic and the adjustable band at the heel of this shoe solved that problem.
