“We bought these for our cruise in July. I have been wearing mine at the lake and love them. You don’t have to worry about what you might be stepping on, the draining feature is wonderful, and I have found that if you stomp your feet much of the sand will come out. I also wore mine to water day at school. Because of the quick drying I was able to wear them all day. In the past I would take two pair of shoes so I could have a dry pair. I’ve been telling everyone about these great water shoes.”
“I ordered these nearly a year ago in anticipation of magically getting permits to hike Havasupai so that I would be ready when the time came. I FINALLY got to really use these shoes and on a day hike to the Confluence (roughly 14-16 miles RT), i changed into these at the very first river crossing early in the hike and I NEVER changed back to my actual hiking (trail running) shoes. These shoes were sooooo unbelievably comfortable for the ENTIRE hike, through multiple river crossings, soft desert sand trails, scaling rock and rock faces (for those familiar with the trail), and then some! I wore these WITHOUT socks for the entire hike and didn't get a single blister or cut, nor were these uncomfortable (outside of having to remove little rocks that snuck in every now and then) at any point. I truly could not recommend or rave about these shoes enough! Even my friend i was hiking with kept asking me how my feet were feeling and couldn't believe I was doing just fine with no socks and such. 10/10 would 100% buy again!!Just buy these and you won't regret it!!!Note: I did go up about 1/2 a size from my "true" shoe size as i do with all of my running or hiking shoes so as to give my toes extra space in the toe box.”
“I love these shoes.They are attractive and have subdued coloring, so they look fine to wear for work, with jeans or slacks.I stand at work on a concrete floor and for the first time in a long time, my feet don't hurt at the end of the day.Also, they are light and cool, are easy to hand wash, and they dry quickly.The only negative is, if you walk on gravel, the gravel gets stuck in the recesses of the soles. If that happens, you can pull the gravel out with needle-nosed pliers.I'm adding a note- I ordered another pair - black - in the same size (US9) and it was much smaller than the others I have. I had to return them as defective. So I'm not sure how consistent their sizing is, across colors. Maybe they were mislabeled. Be aware, try before you wear them outside, or order 2 sizes and return one pair.”
“i love these shoes. this is my second pair because I seriously wore the crap out of my first pair. As a water shoe alone, these beauties are outstanding, but what makes them truly revelatory is that they are also amazing walking around shoes also. I originally bought my first pair for a trip to the river and they performed spectacularly. The sole is very thick but also very light, which means they handle both sharp river rocks and fine sandy beaches with ease and without making you feel like you've got bricks strapped to your feet. The fabric varies, depending on which style you get, but I've gotten the large weave mesh (in black) and the tighter mesh (in hot pink) and both dry quickly and keep out rocks. I constantly get compliments on the color and style and people are amazed to discover they're actually water shoes which leads me to the reason for my undying loyalty: they are great every day sneakers. On one of my trips I forgot my walking shoes, but had these with me, so I ended up walking all over Universal Studios in them with absolutely no complaints. In fact I would recommend them for water parks, theme parks, parades, kids sporting events and anything outside where you might get your feet wet or dirty; because these are fairly inexpensive I don't have to worry about being too precious with them, and when they get dirty I just throw them in the wash machine. The relative reasonable price point means that I could afford to switch out the grody flip-flops that I keep next to the door for quick jaunts to the mail box with these bad boys. I cannot say enough good things about them. If I could name my first child "Aleader Women's Quick Drying Aqua Water Shoes" i would do it in a heart beat, that is how much I hecking adore these shoes. You will not be disappointed.”
“I purchased these to bring on our 7 night western Caribbean cruise where we planned excursions for each stop. Although I only wore them once, I can honestly say that they exceeded my expectations. I wore them during our tour of Río Secreto in Mexico. The shoes were comfortable for both the dry and wet portions of the subterranean caves. They stayed comfortably snug on my feet while swimming through the deeper parts thanks to the elastic drawstring. I was also impressed by how lightweight they were while also providing sufficient protection from the bumpy stalagmites protruding from the cave floors. The material dried fairly quickly and the shoe remained comfy on our short hike back through the jungle on a rocky path. The elastic sock-like fit around the ankle prevented excessive movement of the shoe, which I believe prevented blisters. The only complaint I’d have would be that the holes on the undersides trap small rocks that are pretty difficult to remove, but I didn’t notice them there until unpacking at home —I found a tiny stalagmite souvenir :). I wear a 7.5 or an 8 in shoes, but wear an 8 in tennis shoes. I ordered the 8 and it fit perfectly.”
“Bought these to wear at theme parks. Water rides leave shoes soaked all day. These are great and fairly quick drying. They are very light, comfortable and look stylish. I recommend wearing without socks for quick drying. These shoes have large holes in the soles to allow drainage. Don't wear them on rocks or in the woods as it could as painful as going barefoot. I would assume sand will drain from the treads but the soles should probably be taken out as not to fill with sand at the beach. I have worn these twice for an entire day of walking at theme parks, they seem to be holding up well. I think they will last at least 1 complete season of fun for the low price.”
