I’m going to give these foreign a half stars. These shoes do everything they claim to do in the video and they are very warm and comfortable. Once you get them on You can wear them all day through all kinds of conditions and they are perfect inside your kayak. The reason I’m giving them four a half stars instead of five is just that sometimes they’re kind of a hassle to actually get on. NRS makes great products and I own a lot of their stuff. That make another paddle shoe that has a zipper entry and if these shoes had the same they would be perfect. Still these are wonderful aqua shoes though and I would recommend them to anyone.
