I originally purchase this sandal with the intent of do some light hiking and river-rafting . the sandal hold up remarkably well ! the only reason I have not give this five star be because when wear this sandal barefoot , the inside of the arch-support have a little nodule that rub uncomfortably against my foot . however - I have extremely flat foot , so maybe it be I and not the sandal . I would still recommend this footwear , as it be tough enough to hike in , and comfortable enough to get wet in . pro : - tough , rugged , versatile - stylish - great value -lrb- I pay $ 64 , retail for $ 80 -rrb- - size for all -lrb- I wear a 15 -rrb- - closed toe -lrb- no more stubby-stabby ! -rrb- - good tread for hike - Easy elastic and clamp tie con : - rough spot on the inside arch - size run about 1\/2 large
