"Awesome... besides the smell" - Review of The North Face Padda Amphibious Shoe - Men's

These are extremely comfortable and functional shoes. They are also very durable, from what I can tell. They have performed amazingly. I like everything about them... besides the smell. They tend to make your feet smell worse than they probably ever have, however, this is only when you wear them without socks and out of the water for a long period of time (like walking around a college campus from 10am to 6pm). I blame the material that the midsole is made of. It seems to be made from the same stuff as Crocs, which are notoriously malodorous. I've taking to wearing socks with them if I plan on using them as tennis shoes to play ultimate frisbee or something else on a field. This is quite comfortable and eliminates the odor problem. These are awesome shoes all around. Just remember that if you plan on wearing them around town to wear socks or face one hell of a smell.
