Mion: Women's Current Sandal - Altrec.com Product Description:

Unique looking and offering unique benefits, the Mion Current sandal is a worthy choice for the amphibious athlete. Whether making canoe route portages or negotiating a narrow slot swollen with spring run-off, you want a pair of sport sandals that make an easy transition from water to land, often many times throughout the day. The Mion Current women's sport sandal does this by ditching traditional neoprene, nylon, and leather materials for their durable, feather-light Super-Structure material that does not absorb water. This novel substance forms an upper composed of a protective toe bumper and a series of wide ribs that, along with the climbing grade Super Structure Cord, securely and comfortably lock your foot into place. Underfoot the Mion Current sport sandal offers unique innovation too. The anatomically shaped Ergomorphic™ foam footbed forms to the shape of the user's foot after just 12 hours of wear. The outsole consisting of proprietary Gripstick™ rubber actually increases its grip when wet and the tread design channels water out from under the foot.

100% water compatible. Does not absorb or retain water like leather or fabric models
Innovative Super-Structure rib system securely wraps, cushions, and protects the foot
Continuous climbing grade Super-Structure Cord allows for generous or secure fit adjustment
Anatomically shaped Ergomorphic™ foam footbed forms to the shape of the user's foot
Gripstick™ rubber and Quad-Cut™ siping provides superior traction in both wet and dry conditions
Designed to be feather-light, these sandals float
Weight: size 7 10.5 oz.

Foamy water sandals As light as flip-flops, Mions are the most comfortable water sandals I have ever tried. Unlike other water sandals that are designed for good traction on wet rocks but not for fording rivers, Mions will also protect you feet under water. The tips of your toes are covered, and your ankles are also somewhat protected by the thick foam that the entire sandals are made of. The sole provides enough cushioning for, say, a day hike with a light pack, and will definitely protect you on rocky terrain. I would recommend these sandals for summer hikes that may involve crossing streams (e.g. Hawaii, Patagonia etc.), and as the lightest protection you are likely to get away with when white-water rafting. On the down side, if your feet tend to sweat you may still get blisters even though the sandals are very soft, because the upper portion is not breathable. They are also relatively wide, so if you have low-volume feet they may not be ideally suited for you. If you like wearing your sandals with socks, be warned that these grippy sandals will do their best to pull your socks off.

Women's current sandal A neighbor had a pair of the Men's Current Sandals, and told me how comfortable they were. I decided to try a pair, and my feet feel like they are riding on a cushion all day. There are no spots that rub feet or toes. I only wish there were regular shoes made that are as "feet friendly". Thanks for the great sandals.

Roomy Toe Box I purchased the Mion Women's current Sandal in four different color varieties. I just had a good feeling that these would be the right choice shoes for me, and they were. I have a wide forefoot and a narrow heal. I find it very difficult to find shoes that fit and feel comfortable. If I buy wide shoes, the heel is too large and my feet slide forward, often resulting in black toenails. A lot of people recommended ordering smaller sizes, but I'm glad that I went with my usual size. I like the extra toe box room. Because these sandals are very adjustable, it is easy to make the rest of the shoe snug where you like. These shoes provide some toe and ankle protection too.
