My husband does not wear sandals and he loves his socks. These explorer sandals are perfect for him, they are comfortable and give him the feeling of a shoe. They have a good sturdy sole, and he loves the adjustable shoe lacings. The last plus for him is that they come in a nice soft color.
In our area warm days come even in winter. This yr. -5 and 3 days later 62! Sandals are very handy to keep in your ride, for spur-of-the-moment trips to the mountains, streams, hiking, anything outside. With a covered toe, explorer sandals are the perfect "take along shoe".
Bought these sandals last spring prior to a trip to Mexico. From the moment I put them on they were the best sandals I've ever worn - extremely comfortable and no blisters anywhere. I wore them on the beach, climbing pyramids and mountain biking. Loved them so much I got a pair for my husband when I got back and he loves them too. My 13 yr old is getting a pair this spring for camp wear. Love'em love'em love'em
