Highland Creek Riptide 2 - Men's Closed Toe Outdoor Hiking Water Sport Sandals

These shoes are great, comfort, wish they came in wide or 1/2 size , I wear them daily, no sign of wear, I like the way the foot bed is easy removed, I read all comments on anything I purchase, Buyers mention the foot beds comes out when removing shoe, they also spoke on the smell of the shoes,, All I can say change your socks , and do us all a favor and wash your feet once in awhile.

I bought these in the early spring of 2024 to replace a raggedy pair of Keen sandals. They looked well-made to me and were considerably lighter than me Keen's. I wear a US size 10.5 and bought a size 11. I noticed right away how snug they fit, yet were very comfortable. My feet always slid around in my Keen's while walking on inclined surfaces but not in these sandals. Like several reviews mentioned, the insoles were thin and tended to come out when removing the sandals. That is an issue, but was minor in my opinion. When the insoles started to develop small bulges near the toes, I ordered a pair of Dr. Scholl's insoles for $3.50 and cut them to fit. Worked like a charm! I've had these for over a year now and there's no noticeable wear on the soles or anywhere really. I'm really happy with these sandals and would definitely recommend them. Even with the minor insole issue, I'm giving them 5 stars for comfort, quality, and durability. I may order another pair to have on hand in the off chance they aren't available in the future!

I was looking for closed heel, hiking-boots like sandals and I came across with them. They are beautiful and of good quality too. also have a aapr of keen's but these are always my go-to sandals when I go out. But I have 2 comments. Both are about the insole insert. The insole insert is made of memory foam. So it is very comfortable. But it absorbs sweat easily and causes a bad smell in no time. I take them to and wash them several times during the summer. I think the material needs improvement. Also the insole insert is attached only at the back with double-sided tape. So it means when you are taking them out, the front of the insole comes back and lies crumpled in the sandal. When you are wearing them back first, you need to push the front of the insole back in place. This is a hassle. If they could address these issues, you would have the perfect sandal..

My husband loves these he says they are super comfy he loves the color, they are lightweight and fit perfect. My only complaint is not the product but the delivery as they kept saying my address could not be found. But its a minimal complaint the product itself is great.

Wore very well over the summer. My daliy shoe. We’re tight at first, after breaking comfortable

Pros:* Vibram-like sole for better traction* Comfortable fit- feel like they are a half size too large which may add to the comfort factorCons:* Unable to secure the bungee laces on both shoes- the plastic piece does not secure on the bungee laces to tighten for trail hiking which indicates poor quality control* The multi-layer cap toe is separating from the uppers on both shoes so there appears to be a manufacturing flaw as well. See the picture posted by a Santiago on 30 OCT 2023. I had the same issue with both shoes.Bottom line:* Probably ok for walking around the block* Not rugged enough for hiking* QC and Manufacturing issues after 4 weeks of useI bought these on 15 MAR so have not even had them for two months. Probably didn't start using them until 1 APR. Would return them but the deadline for returns has passed.

The reviews are right , these are comfortable shoes . My first experience is not all 5 stars though . 1. First thing to go wrong is the super soft inserts, the edge of the of the inserts curl up mid foot and poking into the side of my feet . This would be because the bottom material of the inserts are hard and not flexible so what ended up happening to me is the inserts broke into 3 pieces when I was trying to adjust the insert and putting it back in the shoe or sandal. 2. When I was tightening my laces ,the laces broke where they are glued together at the bottom of the laces . (Easy fix.just knot the laces and trim the excess) ultimately I took the inserts out and they are way better for me now and I’ve been thinking about getting regular laces so I can tighten up my shoes without worrying about breaking my bungee cord laces . 3. If your like me and you feet issues when it comes to sandals #TAKE NOTE# I forgot I have problems with sandals . The heel part of the shoe is too high and chaffs my heels raw . I haven’t found a fix for this yet other then wear low profile socks . This is my personal experience . These are great shoes for other people.

Love these shoes!! This is my second pair - the first are showing some slight wear after 4 years. I use them as my everyday shoes so they get a lot of use. I don’t use them in the water so don’t know how they’d do for that use. I live in the South and like the gaps (holes) in the shoes that let your feet breath. I also have wider feet and these shoes for well.
