Ryka Women's Hydro Sport Water Shoes

I haven't worn my new Ryka Hydro Sport Water shoes in the water yet (headed to Hawaii in a few weeks), but just by wearing them around the house I can tell the Ryka shoes are durable, comfortable, made with substantial materials, including thicker soles with traction and drainage holes, and they are stylish. Unfortunately before ordering these shoes, I ordered a pair of the unknown brand cheapos ($9.99) that popped up on an internet search. They looked stylish and substantial on the computer screen but in reality they were flimsy and would't last for more than 1 outing and would be slippery with the thin flat sole. Don't fall for that trap. I have another pair of Ryker shoes (sandals) that was my first introduction to Ryker and I love them. That's what brought me back to Ryker for water shoes.
