Great sandal/shoe hybrid.  Good for the beach, hiking, or casual wear.  Have to watch for little rocks getting in the shoe.  Easily dries and very good grip so hiking up rivers is a must with this shoe.  If the temperature drops you’ll want some socks.  Not the best look in the world but not as bad as Birkenstocks with socks.
Easily put on and quick ripcord lace system does the trick for Sebastian to do it all himself in no time.   Overall it’s a sturdy shoe that will last for at least two of the boys, making the $50.00 price a great investment.
Bonus feature – anti microbial inner sole and machine washable (They didn’t get their smelly feet from me).

The skinny:

• USE – Does exactly what it should
• AFFORDABILITY – Not the cheapest shoe you’ll find, but it’ll last so you can get your money’s worth if you choose to (or sell them when you’re done, someone will scoop them up)
• SIZE – Small if your kid has small feet, bigger if his feet are bigger.
• SIMPLE STYLING – Simple, solid, and sharp.  No lights in the heels of these.
• SANITY – If you’re buying them to really use them then they’re a good purchase.  If you’re buying them just to look cool, well, they are cool looking.
