Blitz Booties

I just picked these up recently. My wife has had a pair of Sea to Summit Ultra Flex booties for the last few seasons. I've cycled through three different options over this season before deciding to bite the bullet and purchase a pair of dedicated water shoes. They were half off direct from Sea to Summit. Construction seems good, though some of the contact glue seams are somewhat obvious. I'm a little concerned about the joint at the Velcro strap. The toe box has what I can only describe as a "ninja" toe. The big toe is shifted slightly away from the others. I don't mind this, but I know other people really don't like it. There isn't much texture on the sole for traction, but the rubber does grip well on wet stone surfaces. I'm not too sure how well it will grip in mud or wet wood. Overall they are comfortable and seem to be constructed as well the Ultra Flex booties models. My only real complaint if there is one is that dark gray version wasn't available in my size. I'm not a huge fan of the 80's neon colors (blue or green) that StS offers.
