This is the 2nd pair I've bought for my son. He wears them everyday at camp...perfect for going in the water, or on trails or back to the cabin. He definitely outgrows them before they show any signs of wear.
I have bought this style shoe for my very active children before - a great alternative to sneakers for the summer. They wear them as school appropriate alternative to sandals as well. This year I ordered a pair for me and for my husband. He loves them as much as I do. Very comfortable, very versatile, great for walking, bike riding, wearing to the beach, or even all day at the amusement park. Unlike water shoes, my feet dry quickly in them. They are breezy but not flimsy. I highly recommend them.
Note: I found them to be an exact size to what I regularly wear (unlike some of the earlier posts). My husband wears a 12 1/2 usually and had ordered a 13. He returned them for the 12 and find them a much better fit.
The sandals are great. I bought 1/2 size up to ensure comfort and they are very comfortable, well made and look great. The sandal is great for multiple uses and gives excellent foot support.
