[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3264227, member: 10465"] Looks like a big improvement over the old supply-hooch-issue swim sneakers (coral creepers) we used in USMC Recon units back in the old days. Those things had zero support. Basically they were a thin, flat piece of rubber with a canvas upper glued and sewn to it. They were okay for swimming or in a rubber boat, or when wearing fins. But once ashore, unless you had any distance to go, you were better of just wearing a pair of wetsuit booties. They'd get wet and full of sand easily. Just what I wanted, a pair of coarse, sand-filled, wet, ill-fitting miserably uncomfortable shoes to try to sneak around in. Amazon has these Altamas for $69.00 - up by the way. I think I need a new pair myself, for stealthy recon missions, like when tactically taking out the trash and puttering around in the yard and stuff. [/QUOTE]
