While working as a raft guide I noticed a lot of raft guides and kayak instructors who wore these sandals. Most of them did not wear them while working on the water though, as they dont secure enough for use in whitewater. Many simply wore the Mion Current Sandal around in between trips to help let their feet air out. The thing they liked most about the sandals was how comfortable it was and how airy it was.
