“I purchased these shoes to walk over stones to get to the beach. The shoes did a great job at this. They ran a little big, so I couldn't swim in them without them falling off so I would walk over the stones and throw my shoes to the shore.The sole had large holes (mean for draining water?), which collected the smaller stones. This didn't cause a problem until I walked on a cement path. The pebbles were wedged tightly into the holes and felt like I had a pebble in my heel for the entire walk. When I stayed on the beach, there wasn't any problem walking, even with the stones in the shoe.Overall, I'd purchase them again but 1/2 size smaller than what I am.”
“Surprisingly comfortable! I have a high arch, and the support from these is great without being too tight or slipping off. The cushion essentially feels like a regular lightweight tennis shoe, so I've even started using them for my summer walks instead of normal shoes!Took them on a river float and they did excellent, didn't slip off or anything. Ran them through the washer afterwards to get the green stuff off (needed a soak + a little hand scrubbing since I got the light gray/teal color) and they came out in good shape still!I highly recommend. Some of the reviews do mention rocks get stuck in the holes, and you can periodically feel them as you walk and I'll agree - if you're planning to walk over small gravel regularly they may not be the best as it'll pick up the small ones in the drainage spots inside the sole.PROSSurprisingly good support & cushion, they breathe & drain excellent, work well with and without socks, slip on great, construction held up with zero issues in the washer on delicate, pretty solid traction even in water, quick to dry.CONSYou can periodically feen gravel get stuck in the sole, & the elastic closure sometimes slips/loosens (but not consistently)”
“These shoes were so lightweight and comfortable I wore them all day to work (as a direct support caregiver) the first day after I got them. The only problem is that they apparently did not give me enough support and I developed an ankle issue that lasted almost 3 weeks. I will continue to wear them but only for tasks that require a non slip shoe--and then change into my regular shoes. They are really cute, true to size and non-slip. I got quite a few compliments on them!”
“I was looking for a water shoe that wasn’t completely covered in a rubberized material/ super tight neoprene that it took some strength to get on and off or cost a small fortune to buy. This shoe is very comfortable considering there isn’t very much to it. Easy to get on and off and affordable. The only negative I have is the fact that there are so many drainage holes on the bottom that this shoe constantly gets small rocks stuck in them. I certainly could not feel the rocks that were stuck in there but for sure once you start walking on solid ground you know there is something on the bottom. It was quite a task to remove them since the shoe material acted like a vacuum and sucked them in. I had to use needle nose pliers to pull them out. That was annoying! Other than that, I did really like the shoe. I only wore them once and the bottom is starting to wear down so I’m not quite sure how long the will actually last.”
“We're leaving for Florida in a couple of days. I shopped around for water shoes for all 5 of us. I found 3 pairs for our littles. But had no luck for my husband and I. The ones I found for us weren't comfortable. So I started to search Amazon. I came across these read the reviews & ordered them. I was still nervous about the size and comfort. And possibility of having to order or settle for the uncomfortable store ones.I was incredibly surprised that my shoes arrived 2 days later. After I got them I Immediately tried them on. These water shoes fit perfectly & feel amazing. I can't even tell they are on. They also look super cute & don't look like water shoes. My husband's shoes arrived a day after. His fit perfectly as well & struggles to find shoes in general. I'm so pleased with these water shoes that I actually ordered them for my boys and will be returning the store bought ones, because the design of the store ones will definitely accumulate sand. These may get a little if any but definitely not like the others. I ordered them all a week before we leave and all of them arrived within a day or two. I definetly recommend these!”
“These shoes held up well in the ocean, on the beach, rocks, and grass. This was my first time buying water shoes online - usually I buy cheap at Walmart or an ocean-side convenient store and by the end of the week, I chunk them out.I loved the way these shoes looked. They're so sporty! My insole even stayed in place.One downside of the shoe is that the back of the right shoe rubbed mercilessly at my Achilles. By day three, I had switched to wearing flip flops to give the back of my foot a break from all the rubbing. For walking in, these shoes would probably be good with a pair of socks to help break them in.”
“I bought these shoes for the beach. I usually wear 8.5. Ordered 8.5 and they fit just right. They are adorable, comfortable, and cute shoes. If you are looking for arch support there is none, but on the other hand, can a beach shoe for this kind of money give you an arch support???The reason I gave 4☆ is because the sand AND small stones (see pictures attached) do get inside right away. And I personally find it very annoying, BUT are there sand shoes that protect you from sand and stones??? I looked a lot on Amazon and after reading reviews understood there are none, especially not expensive like these are. So I could easily give it 2 or 3 stars. I love how they look, fit, and the price. You are getting what you paid for.”
“I workout 3 times a week at the pool in an intense workout class. At first i wore the ones for 10 bucks they sell on Amazon and are just a thin sole and swimsuit fabric but they don't last more than 4 to 6 months. I tried these but they create more drag which made more work for my legs. The first time, i took them off after 10 minutes bc my legs were burning so bad. But little by little i managed to be able to keep them on through the whole class. Now i forget they are on my feet and i'm happy bc i get the little extra workout and they are going to last. If you were just walking the beach or out in the surf they'd be equally as comfortable. The soles are like tennis shoes but with vents on the bottom to let out the water.”
