The narrative on these
shoes says "great for a walk on the water's edge". I purchased these
shoes with that in mind. Now that they have arrived, I don't see how these
shoes are at all appropriate for use near the water. I don't see the foam and leather as being waterproof or water resistant material. Personally, the narrative was a bit misleading, particularly if you are looking for a
shoes to wear near the water. So these may be perfectly lovely
shoes, but they don't need the need for which I purchased them and are going back. They are definitely not an aqua shoe, nor a stylish summer sandal. They remind me of something you might find in an
Easy Spirit store. They may be perfectly fine sandals, but I am returning since they were not as I was expecting.
