These were my first sneaker style amphibious shoe and I was cynical as to how well they would perform. My main concern was how much they would weigh me down in an emergency swimming situation and I was pleased that I could swim well enough while wearing them. They shed dirt and water even better than expected and the insoles are great. Sand can be a bit uncomfortable but that's no shock and it is bearable. These shoes are very light and cool and are surprisingly comfortable, way better than my sandals.
Finally, the Boa system was odd at first but I found them great for easily adjusting the tightness as needed. I found that adjusting them after ten minutes of movement re-situated the shoe perfectly. All in all I am very pleased after my first four or five uses and am now considering investing in some Boa system snowboard boots as tying mine now, well sucks...

Very cool, awesome for anything, in real life the color is a little lighter. kind of a bummer i like how dark they look.

Seeing how the temperature was minus 8 degrees when I received these shoes, in wearing them around the house , they seem ok, Enough room for the toes and the BOA tie system allows for the perfect fit. They should be super in wet activities
