“If you have wide feet, don’t even bother. The toe box, mid-sole and basically the entire shoe is a non-starter for those of us that are cursed with wide feet. If you do not have wide feet, they seem like fair quality and utility for the price.”
“These shoes are totally acceptable, if you are not considering any large distance treks. Or, for that matter, any that would take you near actual water. When I first received the shoes I was pleased at their appearance and they fit quite well. They looked enough like normal sneakers that I felt like I could wear them out and about without calling attention to the fact that I had water shoes on. I have noticed that if you are not careful when putting them on you will be able to hear some of the stitching break. Besides throwing them on to wear around town, I have worn these shoes for extended periods (8-10 hours or more) on three separate occasions which I think would show accurately how they'd handle over time.1.) A whole day at a Disney World theme park.We spent an entire day at one of the theme parks in Florida. After being at the park for about 2 hours it started to rain violently and there was flooding of up to a foot in certain areas of the park. I'm wearing water shoes so I figure that I can walk through these mini rivers and my feet will sort themselves out as they're surrounded by a quick drying breathable mesh. The rain stopped falling around 3 pm that afternoon and we arrived back at the hotel around 10 pm. My feet had never dried off and were starting to crack from being near moisture for so long. Basically, they dry out if you take them off and then leave them to dry for several hours. Otherwise they were comfortable and I felt like I had decent support for the walking all day.2.) Deep sea fishingSpent a whole day deep sea fishing where it was expected that we would be getting our feet wet. I wore a pair of wool socks in order to keep my feet warm as it was earlier in the season and the ocean would still be cold. I had a bit more success with my feet at the end of the day, but there was still a moisture problem with the shoe. If your foot is actually in the shoe it takes an incredibly long time for the shoe to dry out.3.) Hike along a beach/rocky sea wallI took a 2 hour hike along the local shoreline and at this point avoided all the water I could to see how the shoes would handle aggressive walking at this point. I have large blisters on my heel and on the outside edge of my small toes on either foot. If you're doing anything more than a casual stroll and the shoe is not perfectly fit (mine was pretty close) expect to have at least some kind of irritation if not full on blisters. Additionally, the sole of the shoes do not handle running along rocks very well. I found myself losing my grip fairly frequently. Enough to make me double check my footing as I was moving along. I have run this exact path in sneakers and not had as large a problem. The sole of the shoes feel more like a dense foam than a rubber sole. Also, if you find yourself running along a path with any sort of gravel, expect to be pulling small stones from the gaps on the sole of the shoe constantly.TL;DR - These shoes are fine for having some easy slip on shoes to go to the beach with, but if you want to use them for something athletic or wear them for any period of time (wet or not) expect to start seeing the issues.”
