I originally got these as a water shoe for a beach vacation that could also be used as all around shoes with no show socks. I originally had the Maipo 1, but these are much better, lighter and more versatile than I expected. Very light weight and lots of mesh on the uppers that seriously keep my feet cool even on the hottest days compared to any of my other Merrells - even better than the original Maipo. They have decent support and good laces and I've been wearing them pretty much as my daily drivers since I got home. They are not hiking shoes by any means, but I did some hiking in them and they work for light trails. They are about as perfect as an all around hot weather summer water shoe can be - I'm surprised that I wear them as much as I do.
