Lightweight & Durable On The Flats!
This flats boot will provide stability and withstand any sand and muck you can venture into.  The upper is made of a quick draining lightweight mesh that keeps the boot from holding water. The rubber sole is desinged to shed mud easily once again keeping the overall weight you lug around all day to a minimum.  They have also been desinged with speed lacing and neoprene tongue that makes them easy on and easy off.

marlwalker shoe
Tested on the razor-sharp coral pancakes of Christmas Island, our classic flats shoe is better than ever. Lighter, more flexible (with notched flex zones to allow for more natural foot movement) and faster-drying, the redesigned Marlwalker retains the killer durability that’s made it the favorite of flats guides everywhere. Boot-style protection and support reduce fatigue and maximize stability. The upper is made of tough, quick-drying synthetic leather and a new ultra-high-filtration hydrophobic polyester mesh (100% recycled). More features: hidden lace eyelets, padded neoprene/spandex tongue, cushioned heel, cushioned wraparound ankle support, a sturdy toe cap and nonmarking rubber sole.
