<p>Because I had a major issue with <a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/9155/de-stinking-my-water-shoes">reeky water shoes</a>, I am considering getting different water shoes. I came across <a href="http://stohlquist.com/apparel/footwear-gloves/bodhi-watershoe.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">some</a> that are nyloprene instead of neoprene. They are not as warm, but in a lot of situations I don't need warm. Say hiking a trail that crosses a river multiple times. Or portaging when I want to get out into the water, wade ashore, portage, and then wade into the water as part of getting back in the boat.</p>

<p>However, if despite being a different material and labelled as quick-dry, they still smell, then I will have gained nothing by getting these shoes. I can't find any claims that they are less smelly. Are they?</p>
