text: I used these shoes for the first time during a full day at Xplor in Mexico that included walking on flat and inclined wet and dry concrete, swimming, and driving ATVs.<br /><br />Durability - 2/5 stars - The heel of the shoes is already starting to wear apart where the collar surrounds your foot. I have concerns over the pull cord eventually breaking and wonder if the shoes will become unusable if it breaks.<br />Fit - 4/5 stars - Comfortable all day long with no blistering or chafing. Adjustable pull cord works well to secure shoes to your feet, but can get annoying since it swings around and occasionally goes under feet when walking.<br />Traction - 1/5 stars - On wet surfaces these shoes make you feel like you're walking on ice. They're fine on dry land, but avoid these if you plan to be walking on anything smooth and wet outside of water.<br /><br />Overall I'd probably be inclined to look to Speedo or another brand without the pull cord and with better grip. As others have mentioned, these are definitely not shoes I'd wear hiking, surfing, or running.
