Wearing my disintegrating old water shoes today
These were the first pair of "water shoes" I owned, perhaps 15 years ago. I think from Walmart, but I don't even remember. They are branded Aqua Gear.
They are men's 7, EU 40, or at least that's what the tag says. But they are quite snug, and the stitching over the top of my instep irritated my feet. I eventually pulled out the stitching around the top which made them more wearable, but still didn't wear them much.
I hadn't worn them for years. This summer I saw them when digging out a different pair and decided to wear them. I quickly discovered they are falling apart, the rubber sole is crumbling in places, and coming detached from the upper most everywhere..
I think I'll wear them on one of my afternoon hikes, and see how much is left by the end of the hike!
