No one has an opinion on these shoes?
Would you guys say that these were water shoes, or that they're regular sporty shoes appropriate for water wear?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd probably only wear them at waterline. But I wouldn't look at someone funny if they wore them elsewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it would depend on the sole, etc. You're thinking about them as street shoes?
ION, ever wondered what happened to Baby Jessica or other Kids In The News? Here's info about some of them: [link]

They have a regular street sole. I've tried them on. The only thing that tweaked me was the footbed was kind of rubbery, athough they do claim it's breathable. I just am prone to sweaty feet (which why I liked the mesh so much), so I was worried that it was meant to be worn in the aster and not just around.

They struck me as water shoes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'd consider them water shoes, but I don't see any reason you couldn't wear them just around.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think you can wear them around, even though they seem made for water activities. They might not be as breathable though as a similar shoe not made for water activities.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still pondering the idea of a water shoe, but I'm sure I'll catch up with y'all.

I supoose. They were soooo comfortable. I tried on three other pairs of Merrell's and none were as comfy as these. I think more than anything, I'm worried about them getting all stanky if I wear them around town, because they're really meant to be in the water.

My worry would be if the rubber is strong enough to hold up to pavement walking for very long.
