Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023
The mesh top can be a bit cold/wet in very bad weather, but that was expected
The only minor complaint I could think of is that the mesh on the front top of the shoes doesn't do much to repel water or sand, but this is only a minor issue that only comes up if it rains heavily or if you're at the beach. And even then, when you leave the beach you just have to pour the sand out of your shoes (it's comical how much sand can find its way into these shoes!).
Overall, they're Asics and you can't go wrong with them for comfort and reliability.
