I've had a pair of Flats Sneakers for better than 10 years. As saltwater wading footwear they're seldom used. I like them as a SW boat shoe. Great stability on the deck, plus ankle support. I actually use them more wet wading freshwater rivers. The toe area is not what traditional wading shoes offer, but it's enough, and the ankle protection is good. Probably one of the best $90 or so ff purchases I've made.
