After revising you need to do two things. Post the html version of the Report in the Tests/Owner Reviews folder on BackpackGearTest.org, and post the plain text version here, with "Repost," the product name, and your name in the subject line, and with a tinyurl link to the html version in the body of your message.
Cheers, Richard Lyon

### I started backpacking in 2011, mostly enjoying moderate hikes of about 10 miles (16 kilometers) and a night or two in the woods. I like to pack lightweight to make the most of the few opportunities I get to be on the trail. ###
EDIT: You've used less than half of your allocated 100 words. Please add some more detail – type of shelter, usual hiking venues, do you hike with others or solo, which seasons, and the like.
### Listed Weight: 17.8 oz (503 g) Size 13 (pair)
Measured Weight: 14.6 oz (414 g) Size 12 (pair) ###
EDIT: U.S. Men's Size 13; US Men's Size 12 [There are other sizing systems and you should indicate men's size. Delete "(pair)."
### The shoes are technically waterproof, although they do not keep feet dry. ###
EDIT: Indicate whether this comes from the manufacturer or your own experience.
### I have used these on trails in Cuyahoga Valley National Park ###
EDIT: Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio [Not every reader will know where it is.]
### I have spent roughly equal time with the strap behind my foot as well as ahead of my foot. I have not removed the straps for more than a minute or so just to try that feature. ###
EDIT: Somewhere in this section indicate whether (or when) you wear the shoes with socks and when without.
###I left the shoes in the bed of my truck one sunny day and returned to find the shoes (particularly the right shoe) fitting more snug than I remember. ###
EDIT: snugly
### My opinion is that the external size of the shoes seem larger than other comparable polymer clog shoes. ###
EDIT: seems larger ["size" is singular]
### The shoes do not compress for easy packing, and this is probably the biggest drawback for backpacking use. ###
EDIT: Revise so that it's clear that this is your opinion only. You can't speak for what others may think.
### As a backup footwear option on the trail, these outperform flip flops in wearability, ###
Edit: flip-flops [With a hyphen.]
