From Campmor:
"Equally at home in the water as it is on the trail, the men's Sunkosi redefines amphibious footwear. Quick-drying synthetic and mesh upper Durable pull cord for quick adjustment and easy entry/exit Hidden lacekeeper at the top of the tongue 360 degree quick drainage system Compression molded EVA midsole Non-marking Spider Rubber outsole with drainage ports."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Teva Men's Sunkosi Shoes let you run up your favorite mountain trail without hopping over streams or slowing down to step on stones. The patent-pending drain technology lets water escape and air flow in freely. To make these amphibious shoes, Teva took quick-drying uppers and integrated them with high-friction Spider Rubber outsoles using their patented Wraptor Fit System, which wraps all the way around the foot through a unique channel in the midsole. A series of drainage ports with mesh screens inside the Sunkosi Shoes let water escape through the bottom of the shoe while denying access to debris. The EVA midsole provides cushioning and shock absorption, and a durable pull-cord lets you make lightning fast fit-adjustments on the trail."

From REI:
"Equally at home in water or on the trail, Teva® Sunkosi shoes offer traction and quick-draining performance, a must for amphibious adventures! Polyurethane and nylon mesh uppers let water flow freely from shoes and dry quickly for comfort in varied elements. Unique 360° drainage system in uppers allows excess water to escape in all directions for enhanced comfort and performance. Durable pull cord allows quick adjustment and easy entry and exit; special pocket at top of tongue stows laces and lace locks. Wraptor™ Fit technology snugs securely across insteps while pulling webbing in at heels and arches for a supportive, static fit even when wet. Neoprene collar and lining help keep debris out of shoes and protect bare feet from pressure and abrasion. Drain-Tech molded EVA insoles add cushioning; perforations allow water to escape so feet don't have to swim. Cushioned dual-density EVA midsoles absorb shock and transfer it for enhanced push-off energy. Nonmarking Spider Rubber® outsoles with aggressive lug design bite into mixed terrain and shed debris that can slow you down. Outsoles feature mesh drainage ports in heel and forefoot for full water expulsion."

From Sierra Trading Post:

Sunkosi
Reviewed by Ann, Jun 24, 2007

"My husband and I live in Hawaii and love to hike, kayak and snorkel. I highly recommend this shoe. We were looking for a sandal/shoe hybrid that would drain quickly, wouldn't give us blisters when we didn't wear socks, and wouldn't allow rocks into the shoe."
