Waaaaaaay better than the leather sole rainbow purely because they do not get slippery when you foot get wet . have these bad boy for over 2 year now , buy 'em off Amazon originally . they have survive about 20 country across 4 continent . I have take they backpack , scuba diving , dancing , kayaking , bike ride , accidentally shoot they with a pressure washer , and watch one -lrb- the right , I believe -rrb- take a unscheduled trip into the ocean without I . they have go to the beach , to the mountain , the desert , the jungle , a mosh pit in Germany , on plane , train , automobile , bicycle , bus , and my university graduation ceremony . I still have not wear they out . when they get too stinky , or some evil envious person end up steal they , or 2017 hit , you better believe I 'll be round up another pair .
