i have have these for about a month now . i wear they all the time . i do my best to place they in the most extreme condition possible and they have hold up wonderfully . my ultimate test be a 3 day canoe trip . i would jump out of the canoe into the delaware over and over . they have excellent traction on the slippery rock bottom and dry within a half a hour . i get they compltely muddy and then forget they in the bed of my truck for a couple of day . i just soak they in a bucket of warm water , spray they with a hose , and they look brand new again . these thing have the durability and stability of a high quality light weight hike shoe and can be completely submerge without any issue . i highly recommend they to anyone who like to get the most out of they sandal .
