XTRATUFXTRATUF Riptide Men's Airmesh Deck Shoes, Black & White (22000)

I now have 4 pairs so I don't wear them out!

So far, a great alternative to flip-flop sandals. Not that they are intended solely as such, they work excellently for this purpose. Very breathable, cushy insole, and perfect for in and out of the water. They dry within an hour in the desert heat - even faster if left outdoors. I repeatedly use these to launch boats, stepping into knee deep water with them on, then wearing them to lunch at the local cafe. I have been complemented several times a day, as typically people are hesitant about me putting my "nice shoes" into the water. When they find out that they are water shoes they immediately search for them to buy.

These suckers are so darn comfy and well built. Been wearing them for 6 months or so. I beat the snot out of the shoes I wear. Not really ideal for walking a whole lot all at once, but I've regularly taken them on 2 mile pavement walks and they do reasonable. It's just that they slide around on your foot a little because the upper is very flexible the insole is somewhat slick. They make up for that in comfort and durability, though. Worth the purchase, just don't plan on taking long walks. I would pick these for working in a warehouse or convention center though. No heel pain and feet stay cool.

I had been looking at these for some time for a good beach and vacation shoe that I can get wet, but have good traction. These are better than expected! The fit true to size and are extremely comfortable and pack easy, as they can lay flat. They are great on wet docks, boat decks and look good enough to pass for resort casual wear for a night out. The price on Amazon was $30 less than I was seeing on other sites. I definitely recommend these if you want something more secure and a step up from the traditional sandals and slip-ons.

I purchase a number of water type shoes from amazon and dept stores over a year long period. Crocs, Aleaders, Kohl's brand, etc. All of them let me down! Most were uncomfortable or not heavy duty enough to handle walking up and down banks / carrying a kayak! This fit the bill in both respects. I have only worn 5-7 items so verdict is still out on durability.
