text: I work turf maintenance on a residential golf course. During the day I walk/mow over 6 miles of greens then rake bunkers in all their sandy glory. My routine puts me in wet grass, on rocky paths, and over anything else that needs done. The shoes have held up through it all! I get sand in everything except them. They stay dry but aren't hot or sweaty. I do wish I had bought a size larger as the fit is a bit narrow and took a couple weeks to break in.
