“I am in the pool service industry and have tried expensive, waterproof shoes, boots, cheap shoes, and the issue these all had in common was wet socks at the end of the day. So I got the idea to find a shoe that supported my feet like sneakers, but something I didn’t need to wear socks with. After 1 week and a couple days (running all my routes), including a couple rainy days, my review:Honestly, I’m loving these shoes. My feet get wet, but the winning point for me is that I don’t need to wear socks, so my socks don’t stay wet all day. These shoes dry so quickly. They also make it easy to get around obstacles, like on baja steps, because I can fully just step into the pool.The only con is that stuff, like little rocks, get stuck in the holes on the bottom sometimes. Nothing has stabbed me yet, and nothing stays in long.On the rainy day, these weren’t the best, because a bunch of areas were muddy, so i kind of sunk into mud puddles, but again, by the next pool, anything stuck on the shoe before, was gone. Just in the moment, feeling all the mud wasn’t fun, especially since I’m trying to move swiftly in the rain.We’ll see how long they last, but at this price point, if they last as long as any other cheap sneaker, it’s a win in my book. They dry quickly and I don’t have wet socks and/or feet all day. There are lots of different styles, and they have great reviews. I finally went with these ones because I wanted to try a shoe without laces! I’m glad I took the chance with these. Very, very satisfied!”
