I had been looking for a synthetic year-round outdoor shoe that I could pop on early mornings without fuss and that would keep the dew on the grass from getting my feet wel. Slip-on type shoes have never worked for me in the heel as they flop around. Boots are too much and Crocks are not enough. These are perfect as they are easy to put on, stay on my feet, and keep them dry. Great traction on wet slippery grass too. Thanks!
