I buy these as a wet-weather alternative to my leather birkinstock . they be only available in the narrow footprint - not my preference but work out great nevertheless . I wear they on a vacation in New Orleans during the hurricane season , walk mile and mile in they every day with no blister . I wear they when the grass be heavy with dew in the morning . I wear they to get in and out of my kayak . would not want to be without they . have they for wet condition will help keep my leather , more expensive , birkinstock in better shape longer .
