These have superb cushioning and surprisingly good traction, even on snow and ice. While I have found that these don't lock down my heel very well, the forefoot is very accommodating for different-sized feet and allows for toes to splay out. Furthermore, if you step in a creek these shoes drain incredibly fast, and the breathability of the upper cannot be beat. The biggest drawback of the Podiums is that they offer very little protection from rocks and debris - if you trip over a rock while running you will feel it. Unfortunately, that makes these shoes a poor choice for technical routes involving scree fields or scrambling.
In all seriousness, I love my Podiums and wear them nearly every single day. As someone who blasts through flip flops, these have shown great durability. They are super comfy after skiing, running, or daily wear.
Dynafit Podium Sandals
The more time we spend cramming our feet into ski boots and running shoes, the more we can't wait to let the toes loose - especially if we're spraying champagne from the winner's podium! With that victory celebration in mind, the Dynafit Podium is an ergonomic and cushy flip-flop ("jandal" for those tuning in from New Zealand) made by everyone's favorite beachwear brand, Dynafit. More waterproof than leather and durable than foam, these sandals are an exercise in Sprezzatura, an Italian fashion expression meaning "casual nonchalance." Though they look best after a hard-earned day in the mountains, you're also welcome to wear 'em in the sauna, in the car, during expedition prep, or just simply putzing around the back patio during the toasty months.
- Lightweight profile reduces fatigue pacing around the kids' sports practices.
- Squishy, thick platform helps satisfy rollercoaster height requirements.
- Wide straps won't dig into your skin.
