FLARUT Men’s Athletic Sandals – Closed Toe Sport Hiking & Outdoor Walking Water Sandals with Anti-Slip Cushioning and Breathable Mesh

Not as good as similar others
I did not notice that these water sandals only have a strap at the back of the shoe. Other similar water sandals have a strap in front and a strap in back, making them much easier to put on and providing many diff adjustments for a better fit. Live and learn. I prefer Nortive 8’s and hope they become available again

Sandals
Did not fit. Not wide enough.

the best wat to wear a non sock based sandal/shoe- it has great foot support
Wearing sandals is something i like to do most of the time during the summer. I used to like to walk around without and shoes but that was in my youth. I now try to wear a sandal based shoe whenever i am outside in the hot weather; unless i am engaging in a cardio based situation where i would then switch over to athletic shoes.But wait; i have figured out a way to still maintain my sandal based style while enhancing the support of my feet to take the activity i wearing them for to a heightened level. What i mean by that is after discovering this neat sandal/shoe from the Flarut brand; i realized i could take a heavy duty sandal like this on a hike. I say that because this shoe is partially designed like a jogging shoe, with the bottom and heel support being of that sturdiness that is required for standard jogging or running. Overall the shoe is not quite meant for that but it is meant for a semi rugged but dry trail.I went on a nature walk in an area in Ohio where the topography is super hill based. I found myself speeding up dirt hills and trail hills, to the extent where i felt like i was partially jogging. The support around my feet with this Flarut brand shoe then allows me to work on my leg muscles, while engaging in a trail walk that has uneven ground, that then gives me the ability to fine tune that area which prepares me for my six day a week jogging commitment.I am so happy i can now use these shoes to add a lesser intensive workout to my routine, that focuses on area not fully tackled during a regular street jogging session.The price of these is so reasonable i am thinking about ordering another backup pair.There is enough covering over the shoe that once it becomes fall; i will still be able to wear these but with socks. That creative multi use of these shoes makes them a winner.I like the added rubber piece that covers the toe. That allows me to kick open a door if i have groceries in my hand; without worrying about hitting my toe like if i was wearing regular sandals.The visual appeal of these is a big selling point for me but one of the main features that makes this awesome is the fact that you do not have to tie any laces. There is a braided sort of middle section of thick laces, that are more like bungee cords, which give the shoes that added outdoor look and theme.I love the color of these with the neat use of blue working well.

Perfect Fit
