Third pair of water shoes I've tried in the last few years (see my review of the Teva model) and, even though it's early, I'm liking them. The test will come over the long haul - next 12 months. I use these things as a boat and kayak guide; kayaking being the hardest on them. The Teva's started out well too, but didn't last (sole separated I feel to early) as long as I'd hoped. Stay tuned for more over the next few months.  EDIT: Behind updating the review (by a lot). While the shoes were very comfortable, they didn't hold up very long. In fact the shortest lifespan of any pair of water shoes I've tried. The sole separated - literally &#34;came un glued&#34;.
