The shoes have been just two weeks on Lake Garda in the endurance test. On the beach and in the water are just great and small pebbles. Barefoot very uncomfortable with the shoes no problem. Of course, you realize the stones through the soles, but you can so easily go into the water. When swimming they hardly hamper without of course better. I have, as recommended here in some reviews, ordered the shoes a no. Greater. Take good care, they should not be smaller. Even my recommendation: A number greater than order the usual size.. There were no signs of disintegration, so they should probably keep a vacation. The only thing that bothers some, the shoes dry itself very slowly in the sun. On departure should the shoes no longer more likely to use if you do not want to pack wet.
