I do not have this exact pair . I get mine from Bass Shoes -lrb- not Bass pro -rrb- for $ 39 . so , I like this one because of its price but also because of the toe portion . some might shun sandal because stuff get in they while you walk . Wood chip be not fun under you arch . however , the toe on these be covered which minimize this issue . nothing get in mine during the second half of a ten mile day hike I be on . the heel be not cover on these -lrb- mine be cover -rrb- , but still provide a shoe like feel . if it be warm enough , these be great . you can walk through water without be bother at all . even water proof boot can get wet inside if the water be deep enough .
