Being waterproof the shoe has no ventilation and is very hot. Perhaps a more open mesh shoe could be designed, more like a sports shoe for people who prefer a light cool athletic shoe over a waterproof shoe, I would prefer a "Cool" ventilated wet foot that will dry out with time.. over Waterproof and Hot. The yard shoe is a very good work shoe, but I prefer a cooler mesh shoe for my lawn work.. I'm going back to my old stand-by mesh sports shoe.
