OKAY, Lontras are on! They weren't as hard to get on as I thought they would be, but still not as easy as others. I's say on a, ease-of-putting-on scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Classics and 10 being KSOs, these are about an 8.
They fit different than my other VFFs. Honestly, they feel more like shoes - less ground feel and you definitely can feel the sole. Whereas the other VFFs don't feel like there's anything between your toes... with Lontras, it does kind of feel like your toes are wrapped in gauze. However, they're still pretty comfortable. Only part that is less-than-comfortable is the X point on the strap, it rests on kind of a sensitive part of the top of my foot.... but I may just have them strapped on too tight.
They're definitely water resistant - I just sprayed them with the kitchen sink nozzle and my feet are still dry! On the downside, they don't breathe very well.... though that's probably good for holding in heat.
The neoprene cuff is apparently really tight on some people... not me. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
I don't foresee me hating Lontras, especially when it gets cold. Of course, today it's sunny and mid-fifties, so I have no use for them right now.
