Do you think the insoles will absorb the odor of wet feet? My current water shoes don't, but have no arch support so hurt after using.

They have not absorbed any odors for me and I've worn them pretty heavily. Also, re: arch support I've gone on 12+ mile hikes in them and had some issue with the amount of support. So, definitely great for in/out of the water and getting around. But, not for longer days and trips where one day is all water and the next day is all land.

Completely water proof??

No. Its a water shoe. It is fairly fast drying but its meant to get wet. I use this for things like kayaking and snorkeling.

How are these barefoot/without socks?

I haven't tried them bare yet but did get these water socks and they were comfortable to use.

would these work for tough mudder events? will the drain well? grip well when wet and or muddy?

These shoes have spectacular traction on wet and dry surfaces, and they drain liquid as expected. They will likely not drain thicker mud nor will they likely have incredible mud traction as the mud will act as a layer of lubricant between the sole and ground, but once the thick mud is off the sole, they will perform superbly. One other thing to note, in my experience, not wearing socks and the shoe is wet, some of the stitching irritates the foot over time. Definitely recommend as a trail/water shoe
