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

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’ve been using the Vibram brand and these were less expensive and better. Bigger footprint which helps. They hold up very well. Ditch the insole if you plan on hitting the water though.

they fit very well and look sharp

A slightly left-handed compliment: I like these -- light, quick to put them on, styly (as if that matters). The price is slightly higher than I was hoping for, but.....I still gave them a 4 star rating.I use them for inside exercise "shoes" -- even though the name includes "sandals". My last pair lasted for about 6 years, but they can't take an outside workout, especially not on water. The shoe laces broke within 6 months of having them (and not a lot of wear), and the front of the right toe came apart at the 6 year point. There are knock-offs at lower prices but they won't last like these.

Great wearability and ease to put on.

These things are crap. Started smelling after a few days and completely fell apart before our week on St. John was done.

These USED TO sold under the name WorldWideSportsman through Bass Pro Shop under the model name: CopperRiver. I've had probably 8 pairs of these from BassPro, both in black/grey and green/tan. I bought at least 1 pair a year, sometimes 2.There are now 3 main differences under the new name:There are now NO half sizes.There is now NO mesh over the openings.The thickness and overall quality of the materials is close, but there's a noticeable difference, and that difference is a deficiency.There is only 1 color now as well.I've loved the shoes from WorldWideSportsman for about 8 or 9 years.Pretty sure I'll be looking for a new daily wear casual/water shoe.

The shoes look great. They’re not quite as comfortable as my Keens, but then again, they’re not nearly as costly. I will purchase them again when these wear out.
