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.

At first we got the Salomon Amphibian shoes. We were disappointed. They didn't look very durable and they weren't very comfortable. We could tell we'd get blisters while wearing these shoes and they weren't cushy. We sent them back and got the more expensive Teva Sunkosi. It's worth the extra money not to have blisters.

The Tevas are very comfy, fit very securely around your foot, and have very good traction. They are also a good looking shoe. They are so comfortable, I feel like I could wear this shoe while jogging.

I saw it advertised on most websites for a little over $100. I found it for $74 at bentgear.com. Even if you don't find it on sale, it is worth the extra money.
