The Hound of Rowan: Book One of the Tapestry

Great shoes. Wore them every day on a 16-day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. Soles provided plenty of grip in dry and wet environments. Upper still looks new. Cleaned up after got home and they are now my go-to shoes. I love the extra grip shoelaces. These are really well thought-out.

Bought these on a whim and based on an Instagram ad, which is always a risky proposition, after my 12 year old Keen sandals died. Tried two other brands of water shoe this summer, and tho I won't name names, these have them solidly beaten. I've used these for: Kayaking, sailing, fishing, and birding, including several long treks across big sand flats. I like minimalist shoes and these are super comfortable while still protecting my feet from rocks, shells, etc. The basically haven't dried out since the day after I got them. So far, they don't stink, although they also haven't been in the house yet. We'll see how that goes in October. Can't say anything about durability yet, obviously.
