Here's what other sites are saying:
From RockCreek:
"The Waterpro Maipo Shoe by Merrell is like having suction cups on the bottom of your feet when canyoneering, portaging rapids or simply rafting the Chattooga. Either way the Waterpro Maipo has a mesh upper that drains automatically through ports in a micro mesh upper keeping your feet from standing in pools of water. With anything that gets wet, there is always the possibility that bacteria and molds can grow inside the shoe, but with the Maipo, it has an antibacterial footbed to help eliminate that problem. The sole is heavily sipened to give you superb traction on wet surfaces and softened chevrons for land and dirt. A great anywhere water shoe that gives you support while offering traction on slippery surfaces."
From Backcountry.com:
"Your feet dread the cuts and bruises that accompany wearing sandals on canyoneering trips, but they also dread soggy sneakers. Introduce your feet to the Merrell Men's Waterpro Maipo Water Shoes. Drainage ports jump into action when you dunk the Waterpro Maipos in the river, while supportive footframes and grippy Vibram soles do their work to help you stay upright whether you're in the water or on dry land. Lycra and neoprene padded tongues and collars increase comfort, while the molded nylon arch shanks protect against sharp rocks. Antimicrobial treatments on the footbeds help block odors."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"This Waterpro runs fast wet or dry - a prime candidate for canyoneering as mesh upper drains automatically via ports in micro mesh upper and in antimicrobial footbed. Dynamic lacing system locks together a micro-mesh upper and supportive synthetic leather strapping. Air Cushion midsole for amphibious ventures includes Q-Form stride alignment for women. New Vibram Waterpro Plus sole has softened chevrons for land, heavy siping for wet surfaces."

However I did not buy them for that. I compete in adventure races and bought this shoe to race in."

My family just went to several locations in the Caribbean and Central America. I wore these shoes snorkeling in Honduras and Cozumel. Wore them to Sting Ray City in the Cayman Islands, and wore them on a three mile jungle hike through the rain forest in Belize and then cave tubing."
