Anybody try these yet? Thinking of getting some when I upgrade from the Crocs in a few weeks...

The water model looks like it may have some merit. If your dockmates gave you grief for your Crocs, wait til they see you in these! Les - think you might stock some of these?

A bit pricey Sandy, but just ugly enough that I may need to get some. Actually, a friend of mine who runs marathons says they're amazing. Their construction works your lower leg muscles as you walk/run and simulates going barefooted. If the sole is half-way "grippy," I can see these working quite well on wet decks. Wear these in a hostile environment and save your nice boat shoes for restaurant runs. Like Crocs, they come in crazy colors, too. I'd sorta like to hear from someone who uses theirs in the wet world before I fork over 85 bucks tho.
 
Someone has to blaze the trail River. You're elected.
 
Gees, I can hear the Sasquatch footprint sightings now.

Man those are ugly! I saw someone wearing them at the gym, it just doesn't look right LOL. I can't imagine how they could be very comfortable either.
 
I don't have any(don't like between the toes things) but my son is in the military and they train with these things(not in the field). Running, swimming,gym he loves them.

They are pretty rugged.
 
They look like they would bother my toes also.
 
Comfort or military or whatever those things are too ugly.
Remind me of a set I had for a costume, and they look like
ninja turtles feet. LOL

PS: Never liked the Crocs either. I use only Sperry Top-Siders for the boat.
 
killing sharks for their fins is just criminal. same goes for offing gorillas for their feet.
 
paint 'em flesh tone.

Add a little hair for effect.

I was waiting for this to show up here.

I got a pair of these exact "shoes" - same make and color - two weeks ago.

All I can say is....they are awesome. Extremely comfortable. Very skid resistant. Really feels like you are barefoot, which I love, but without the pain or rocks, etc. The mesh top will keep stones out, but breathes. Barefoot certainly is not an option when fishing. Takes a little getting used to, and it will change how you walk - in a good way. I think they will be great for the boat.

There were about 6 other people in the store at the same time I was there that came just for these shoes. Sales guy said they sell so fast they can't keep them in stock.

There are a bunch of other varieties and colors as well - including black for the conservative crowd. Will look very nice with shorts and a pair of white legs.
 
My wife and I saw a woman wearing them at the car dealership on Sunday and I must admit they look kinda funny, like planet of the apes. Not sure I would wear them but I hope they are comfortable!
