This water shoe works great for by the shore, or in the kayak. But their actually red and they look awesome. I only write reviews when I think they are deserved, and this one hit the mark. I love the way the shoe looks and its very comfortable! This is a great value and very easy to use. These are beautiful, practical shoes! I ordered a 12. Not equivalent to a proper ceramic coating, but good for refreshes between polishes. Ill continue to look but dont know if I would use this buyer again. But when it comes to movies and TV shows, I choose the HD280s over the HD555s in a heartbeat.
