My wife and I both wear the Chotas. We've used and abused them for about 4 years now and they're still going strong. Very lightweight, extremely comfortable, and great ankle and arch support.

I'm actually thinking of getting rid of the Chotas in favor of the new Chotas with the studded, sticky rubber soles. With Didymo being passed from stream system to stream system, the rubber soles would be easier to disinfect than the poly felt soles.
