I’ve only worn them once, but they are a YUUUUUGE improvement over the sandals I was wearing before. The beach that we frequent has strategically and sadistically dumped very small gravel all around the boat ramp to inflict the absolute most pain possible while maneuvering your boat on and off a trailer. It also encourages you to just remove your sandals exposing your bare feet to avoid the pain. Then they formed the smoothest concrete possible for the ramp so that algae and slime can achieve healthy growth on it. The consequence being that when you step from the sharp gravel on to the slime covered boat ramp with your bare foot you can slip and crack your knee perfectly on the metal grating on the ramp to the cheers and revelry of all the lucky onlookers. In short, this water shoe provides good traction, let very few of the glass-like shard pebbles in, and the bright sole shouldn’t stain the deck or cushions of your boat. Overall, I’m looking forward to a long-term relationship with these new water shoes.
