I have the Tevas with the highly annoying velcro strap. Ya, you know, the one that fills up with mud and seaweed and is really not that useful. With 2 sides of loop material the toungue flap does keep it in place. The traction is adequate but not great. They dry fairly well when drained, but still quite slowly given they are water shoes. Actually, much of my paddling is done with plain old Tevas. I have a older pair of Addidas that were lace ups that were really nice. They lasted about 5 years. Good traction and dried very quickly. Some people don't like laces for possible entangling issues. If I see them again I'll buy them in an instant.
