We have to thank for the quality of shoes. We were this year in May / June 2010 in Mauritius. Although there are magnificent turquoise beaches, but unfortunately also a lot of lava stones in the sea while bathing available. We were able to use very well this super Beachwalker. Hundreds of meters out into the sea so you can wade (50 - 100 cm deep only) until the end of the lagoon (500 m). The firm sole one felt the stones and hardly even the fine coral beach (lace corals and shells) made the slippers from nothing.
