text: UPDATE 12/26/15: Gone through my second pair of these shoes in about a year. The sole begins to detach from the shoe, making them more water absorbent than a towel. Cant say Id recommend these for the price youre paying.   Good shoes, they do as needed. Comfortable and keep your feet dry, but the durability is questionable. After using them for roughly 7 months, the outer sole of the shoe began to disconnect, allowing water to openly flow into the shoe from the bottom, defeating the purpose of this shoe. They work wonders for the time they last, but I cant say Im happy with their lifespan.
