The shoe is  okay but I am not sure what all the hyped-up reviews are about.  It is a decent water-shoe.  It is not particularly comfortable to wear without socks (as you do for a water shoe), as the inside is rigid and itchy/scratchy in places.  I bought these hoping I could wear them hiking in Arizona and Utah this summer during the hot months, but will stick with hiking boots as they are much more comfortable.  I ordered the beet red color which is really very nice.  I also agree with other reviewers that if you are going to order these, go up a 1/2 size.
