Comfortable and Practical
These shoes are very comfortable, dry quickly, and fit true to size. Perfect for fishing and outdoor use.

Slippery
Extremely slippery! I bought these in June and used them a handful of days on light hikes and wet wading. They are comfortable when hiking but once you step on a wet log or in the river you’ll loose traction very fast. I’m 32, fit, and very used to wet wading and I wouldn’t buy these again. I’ve fallen multiple times and the seams are already coming apart. In the future I’ll buy a shoe with felt bottoms, studs, or the felt stud combo. The shoe is fine for rafting, walking along the river bank or hiking but definitely not at all suited for wet wading in a free stone river. They would be fine with a sand bottomed or gravel river. Probably not the best choice for most northwestern rivers.

Great quality but runs small
Unfortunately the size 14 didn't fit well. Very narrow in toe area. Jamming my big toe to the point of effecting the nail and causing discomfort. Great quality but runs small Need to make size 15

Comfortable, great fit, grippy for rocks
More support and less pebbles getting in than the open sided. Will buy another pair in case they don’t continue the product.

Fantastic summer fishing shoe
These shoes are really comfortable even without socks and they have excellent grip. I’d wear them around the house if the wife let me. Been using them mostly on Utah tailwaters where extensive hiking not needed.

Remarkable
My only bad thing I can say is they don’t come in a 12. 5 but other than that they are perfect lightweight great for hiking or in the water dry quick and you can even wear them around the house. My favorite thing has to be how they have lots of room and slip on like a pair of slippers I mean truly one of the best pairs of footwear I own.
