Ive got 2 pairs of Reef Byerly I and a pair of DVS Milans. I can definetly say i like the byerlys more. They drain really good, are comfotorable to ride in and hang out in, and last a loooong time. I have my original pair from 2 years ago which i wore everyday for well over a year until the tread had worn out on it. I bought a white pair and have worn those nearly everyday for 6 months which those to are amazing.

I bought the milans at the end of the summer and thought they where pretty sweet. After 3 weeks they started smelling horrible(never been in water) and they had gotten moldy near my heel because just from sweating Neutral

Anyways i washed them and that didnt work so my friend told me to use lyslol which worked. I dont really like them though because the bottom is to narrow. Whenever i use them on the trampoline i alwyas used to twist my ankle because the base was so narrow. But they are very comfortable however and have a sweet style.

I wasnt impressed with this years Byerly II's because they where very plain. Igot to hold a pair and they feel veerry comfy and look real strong. Ill get those here in a lil while. Hope that helps!

Besides the self draining, are there any other special differences then these shoes and your everyday shoes?

WakeCrasher, by everyday shoes do you mean skate shoes? if so, then no, not really.

the DVS arent as durable, everyone I know has replaced there DVS with byerlys or Kampus shoes for that reason, some actually went back to regular skate shoes, the mesh Dresdens just arent real durable

Is it a bad idea to wear your shoes regularly out of the water............mine might smell like dead fish.
