Found my Teva Links very good and comfy, good grip, deffo dry out much faster than 5:10s, though the “water resistant” claims are a bit rich.
Got a set of Vans Gravels as a second pair of shoes, and was starting to realise that I ever-so-slightly preferred them when I noticed the sole starting to separate from the shoe. (CRC were very quick and courteous with warranty, but had no replacement available, so got a refund, shame). Would recommend the Gravels as being slightly comfier and slightly grippier than the Links, and being more leather they keep the elements out a bit better, but there may be a quality niggle or two, so I can’t really recommend them on that basis.
Freerider Elements/VXI Elements (dubious about the no-grip-when-pushing-up sole) look interesting. Would prefer the new design of the VXI with a normal sole.
