“These are the absolute best water shoes I have ever owned. I took them with me to Cancun snorkeling on the beach and walking through the rainforest to cenotes. We were in and out of water frequently and these were just perfect. The water drains out of them in an instant due to the holes in the bottom so there is no sloshing water in the shoes while walking. The only minor downside of these was that where the tongue of the shoe is sewn on was a little scratchy on the top of my foot, but it wasn't too bad that it ruined it. They also rub on the back of my heel a little, but I've had that problem with every water shoe. I wore them for 8 hours straight in and out of water and they held their shape perfectly, I never felt like they were going to fall off in the water. I got a 7.5 and I usually wear a 7.5-8 depending on the shoe and they were the perfect fit. They weren't so tight they were uncomfortable and they weren't too loose they would fall off. The sole is very thick and seems sturdy. I think they will hold up for years to come. Will definitely repurchase in more colors!”
“These are the best water shoes EVER! I took them on a tropical vacation recently, and wore them a lot. I love climbing rocks by the beach, and going on long walks along the beach. The beaches we visited weren't all white sand, and some were actually very rocky. These shoes offer enough protection from sharp rocks, without being too thick. They feel weightless, and are extremely comfortable. I wore them swimming in the ocean many times, and never once did they get stuck in the sand or threaten to come off in the currents. Although they look like they have laces, they don't, so you aren't able to tighten them. I thought this would be a problem after I received them, but it wasn't at all! I also wore these shoes on walks on dry land. They were more comfortable than my athletic shoes that I was specially fitted for. I am typically a size 8, but range from 7.5 to 8.5, depending on the shoe and brand. I got these in a 7.5, and they were perfect. As mentioned above, I was a little weary about not being able to tighten them, but I didn't need to anyway. These shoes are also easy to clean. The sand rinsed right out of them, and they don't absorb an "ocean smell" like some water shoes do. I got all black, and they look great. I highly recommend these to anyone who likes a little adventure by the ocean. :)”
“Wore them for the first time today. Very comfortable. I was surprised that the insole was removable, just didn't expect that. But it's not a big problem. I would recommend them. Kind-of wish there was a way that the tongue could attach to the shoe, but this isn't a big problem.Update: after having to run them thru the dryer, I think they shrunk some. I bought a new pair. Unfortunately, they didn't have the 1/2 size larger, which is probably what I needed. So I got one size larger. But seeing how this pair seemed to shrink, the new pair will probably also. I do have to say that they are comfortable, light and airy”
“From a previous review, I ordered a half size down (I normally wear a size 8, so I ordered the 7.5) and the shoes fit perfectly! My only complaints are breaking them in and the bottom of the shoe. My heels had already started to bleed within a few hours of wearing them. So they were extremely uncomfortable tubing in the river, not to mention them being wet and rubbing against my poor Achilles. The bottom of the shoe seems to be very prone to catching small stones and rocks so afterwards, I was taking my keys and popping them all out. However, the shoe looks awesome! You wouldn't even think they were water shoes at first glance. I'll continue to wear them and hopefully break these suckers in!”
“I bought these shoes for vacation and wore them one day while at a water Eco park in Mexico. These shoes are super cute, I loved the look of them they don't have the look of your everyday water shoes. I loved how the mesh holes easily allowed the water to flow right out and they easily dry. The bottoms of these shoes are great with a thick rubber bottom just like a tennis shoe or sneaker. You don't have to worry about anything popping though the bottom. Let were light weight and flexible and very easy to slip on and did not slip off. My only complaint is that they gave me a blister on one of my toes. It was from the mesh rubbing on my toe. I have not had a blister since I was a kid and it's been 3 weeks and looks so ugly. I think because the mesh is not a soft mesh. This would be the perfect CUTE water shoe if they used a bit softer mesh.”
“I bought these shoes to wear in my water aerobics class. They work well for that purpose - they are light and dry quickly. My reasons for giving 4 stars not 5 - I agree with some other reviewers that the material seems somewhat coarse and scratchy on my feet, especially when first putting them on. That does seem to be improving (or I'm getting used to it) as I use them more. I wear an 8 to 8 1/2 and ordered the 8 - I am happy with the sizing. I have worn them to 4 classes so far, and after my last wearing noticed that some of the black tread design is just starting to peel away from the white sole, but the rest of the shoe is fine. Hoping the shoes hold up under use for classes 3 to 5 times a week.”
