The fully drainable Columbia Sportswear Kids' Watu 3 Sandal lets little kids catch the fish and release the stream. We figured kids (not to mention their parents) could do without the Soggy Shoe Syndrome, so we created a hybrid shoe that combines the lightweight comfort of a running shoe with the quick-dry capabilities of a water shoe. The upper features breathable open cell mesh with a durable synthetic leather toe cap for added protection. An EVA footbed and Techlite™: midsole combine to provide lightweight cushioning. Wet/dry traction is assured by a siped, lugged outsole with Omni-Grip Wet Grip rubber for sure footing on the trail or the blacktop.

Good, but with room for improvement
I have tried several different brands of scandals this summer & these are my favorite so far. They fit well and keep my feet cool. The mesh fabric is a little scratchy (coarse) & takes some getting used to. The ankle strap is not adjustable, pushing my foot forward more than it needs to be. So, for the hopefully upcoming Watu 4: Use a softer fabric for the mesh Add a Velcro adjustment for the heal strap
