4.0 out of 5 stars alternative to a pair of Keen's, June 18, 2008

By	Andrew Robertson (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great shoe for rocky beaches and tidepools, September 6, 2008

By	Steve C. Sawyer (San Pedro, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got the crazy colored grey/green ones because, even though I thought they were ugly, they were less than half the price of the other two. My wife, who critsizes all my clothes choices, saw them and commented that she liked the colors on those shoes, go figure. I bought them to go to Hawaii and they were perfect for that. Did a lot of walking on beaches with every kind of terrain, they are much better at that than any sandal or water sock, believe me. If the waves break over your shoes, no worries, the water just drains right out the bottom. Now that we're back home I can still wear them to work on casual day, they still look nice and feel great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very comfy!, August 14, 2008

By	L. A. Meisel "gitasha11" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always been a fan of New Balance because they allow the wearer to swap out the insole with a custom orthotic.

When they arrived I opened the box and put them on my feet right away. Without socks they are a perfect fit and I have walked all over in them. Used them while playing volleyball at dusk in the grass as well as while hitting some balls in a batting cage. Definitely allows my foot to breath but I think with socks it would be a tight fit.
