Patagonia Tenzing Amphibious Shoes (For Men)

These are the best deck shoes I have ever had. Their traction on wet decks is outstanding and the wide soft sole prevides superior stability. They are very light on the feet but provide excellent support.

Great shoe and comfortable

So far, so good. I just brought these shoes as my ONLY footwear on a 10-day trip to Belize/Guatemala, and they performed well. My original intent for these shoes were for river running--we are avid canoeists--but I have not used them extensively for canoeing yet. I like the looks and the fit, and they seem high quality. The back of the shoes squish down when I put them on, and this is a bit of a nuisance, and they are touted as "non scruffing" or something like that, but it would seem to me this would reduce all-important TRACTION. We rented a canoe on the Belize River, and I walked in the water, but when I walked along the rocky shore the shoes did not grip as well as I would have liked. Actually, they seemed not to grip AT ALL!!!

So far, pata"gucci" has lived up to it's reputation of functional products that also look sharp. I was immediately amazed at how light these shoes are... then I was immediately concerned about durability... usually the two have an inverse relationship... we'll see. They are comfortable for sure... I wear them without socks most of the time, so I'm a little concerned about the inevitability of bad odor. In the past I have just tossed shoes in the wash, but I'm concerned the glues in these shoes might not fare well in detergent... again, we'll see.

My husband wore these on a recent 7 days sailing trip and had no complaints. He only said he had other shoes he'd pick for longer walks or hiking. They were perfect for the deck and on and off the dinghy in shallow water.
