alternative to a pair of Keen's
I was looking at a pair of Keen shoe/sandels for kayaking and hiking around but I did not find a pair that fit my needs -- size style color.
I've had the new balance SM920 for about ten days and I've used them a few times -- for walking kayaking and running around state parks.
Pros:
good support (that's why I love NB shoes)
pocket in tongue for drawstring
good traction for walking up/down kayak entry points
easy clean up -- hose down the inside to remove sand and grit (this is when the water draining system works great)
Cons:
water draining system gets clogged with lake/river debris
feet get somewhat hot in direct summer sun
Overall
These shoes are great for use in the water and for use paddle sports and walking; I'm pleased with another fine new balance product. These are a nice alternative to a pair of Tevas or Keen sandels. More detail ...
