I had the chance to test out the Merrell Waterpro Toro. At first glance, I thought I would wear them around for a weekend or two while I am running around to fly shops, visiting the future In-Laws, etc. But every time I needed to do all of the stuff above, plus run to the grocery store, check the mail, go to do wedding stuff, I found I was clasping the buckle on these very comfortable shoes to do the everyday stuff. I am not much of a fan of the open toe sandal, because I usually end up fishing in them and I like my toes to be protected from rocks and gravel, but these shoes are great for the boat, canoe, kayak or just any day when you feel like getting out and about. The shoes are easy to slip on and adjust with Velcro straps on the front and rear of the shoe and nylon buckle on the middle strap. Once the shoes are adjusted, you only need to use the buckle to secure the shoe to your feet. The Merrell Waterpro Toro sandal is my new “Go To” foot wear when I headed out to play.
Specs from the web:
• Webbing and synthetic leather uppers wrap feet securely and adjust at toe, instep and heel for a highly personalized fit.
• Once adjusted, use buckles on instep straps to get in and out; remove the padded heel straps to easily convert sandals to slides.
• Lycra® spandex and neoprene linings are soft against your skin and dry quickly.
• DeepDish™ contoured, compression-molded EVA footbeds cradle and center feet for action; Aegis™ antimicrobial treatment keeps odors at bay.
• Air Cushion® midsoles provide shock absorption and cushion for high-impact wear.
• Thermoplastic urethane stability posts provide rearfoot support.
• Injection-molded nylon forefoot flex plates supply flexible support and protection from sharp rocks.
• Nonmarking Vibram® Water Pro Plus Sandal™ outsoles with TC5+ rubber and razor-cut siping deliver amazing wet-surface traction.
• All synthetic construction is vegan-friendly

Water Friendly - as long as you use them only to walk around the pool. Do not try to use them by the seaside. Back straps open every few steps. Those sandals are the best way to cover your feet with blisters for few weeks. The stitches on the back straps go off after 2 days of use and makes them look like sandals that have been used for 2 years.
Buying those sandals is the best way to turn your holidays in to hell (for your feet anyway).
