I buy these for my husband for a snorkele trip . these be he favorite shoe . even after walk in water , the foot immediately feel dry once out of the water . they never smell , which be different from other water sandal . the toe be secure , the bottom heavy and well make , and the inner cord be easily adjust to provide a good fit . even after get they dirty with mud , they wash off easily with water and look like new . he even wear they with sock now that the weather be colder . a very well-made shoe\/sandal .
