I wore these for one day only. The rubber chafed against my ankles until my skin was rubbed off. So, don't wear these without socks. In addition, they just weren't very comfortable at all. It felt like I had a bunch of hard rubber nipples pressed against my foot (and that's pretty much what it was). I guess if you want shoes that you can spray off with the garden hose, then these will work for you. But, if you want something more comfy, try Teva, or Keen.
