text: Like similar reviews I have seen the in sole patch were the three straps come together the stitching is coming apart. I got these in May for a trip to Belize where I spent a week doing moderate hiking. I also wear them floating and kayaking about 6 times a month. The shoes did not last the summer. I had a pair of these when I was growing up and lasted 3 years I do not know if the ones off amazon are lower quality or what but I am disappointed and there is no way of returning them. The shoes lasted three months of moderate use.
