Have the shoes bought before the holiday in Rhodes as the guide for the southeast coast of Rhodes, the beaches are described as pebble beaches. The shoes have to be very successful (the tourists without such shoes are :-) wobbled unsteadily and cautious steps under occasional pain full face into the water). The shoes fit very tightly at the base and springs not only pebble tips from the beach and in the water, but also protect against the strongly heated by the sun pebbles on the way back from the umbrella into the water and back. The only drawback: The small holes left and right of the sole (the openings can be probably the water penetrating into the shoe, re-run) penetrate pinhead-sized stones in the shoe.
