Summary

Not recommendable.

Pros

  • look

Cons

  • overheating the foot
  • bad footbed
  • durability
  • maintenance
  • smell

What I hate most about these is they are overheating my feet. Because of the materials and design. As if they are not sandals. In terms of comfort and durability, they are far away from other manufacturers, Teva for example. They aren't really hiking sandals. And finally, the smell also... Terrible.
