Great Water Shoes
Bought these for my wife and myself when we were headed to Jamaica, they were very nice for all of the water activities we did like sailing, getting on and off of boats for snorkeling, catamaran rides and just walking along the beach.I would say they fit excellent for both of us and the adjustable pull string holds tight where you want it. The heels on hers slipped a little but once tightened it was no issue. They comfortable and never bothered either of us even when we wore them all day, they are comfortable and work great as casual shoes/sandal compromise.The grip is great, we never slipped even when on and off of boats, docks and what have you. Neither of us ever felt like we would slip.The shoes drain water very well, but they do NOT dry fast, if they get wet, they are wet for a while, and we took to using our hair dryer on ours to dry them in the room. Also, certain sizes of sand grains get inside the foot bed and can be stuck till you rinse the shoes well. Not a huge problem but worth noting.Overall and awesome water shoe with really good color choices and a great fit, very dependable and performed nicely. I wear and 10.5 in tennis shoes and ordered a 9.5 for a snugger fit and it was perfect, fit me more like a 10. So maybe they ruin big? MY wife wears a women's 8 and got a 8.5 because her size was out of stock and she said they were a little loose but not terrible.

Comfortable and hard wearing all things considered
This are billed as water shoes and that's the reason that I originally purchased them- to wear while kayaking. And then they were so comfortable and lightweight that I bought a second pair to be the nice pair and ended up using them all the time, which means a lot of walking and wearing down on rough city pavement and I tend to scuff sometimes. They're also grippy and flexible enough that they've served very well for going rock scrambling. This is my third pair ordered, pictures with the first. This first pair lasted for about 2 years which, honestly, for the price and their intended use weighed against how I've actually been using them I consider to be a decent value.I run 7 1/2-8 in USA women's shoe sizes and the size 8 fit perfectly. Constant cycles of getting wet and drying haven't caused them to shrink.One potential thing to be aware of- I personally enjoy being able to feel variations in the ground underneath me, but my partner has more sensitive soles to his feet and found it uncomfortable for general walking when encountering pieces of gravel.Overall though, yeah. Repeat buyer, consistent product (the lighting in my photos is bad, shoe colors are true to product pictures), love these shoes.

Light, drain well and very practical
I do a lot of surf fishing and these were so convenient in 2024, especially for walking from the car to the beach. I also use them on the beach in areas where I know there are pebbles or rough terrain. I will be using them again in 2025. They were quite sturdy and lasted all season last year, including in a Fall trip to Australia where I did several days of fishing on the coast. The nice thing about them is that they dry up very well and there's no need to take them off if you need to go on a short trip off the beach, or even to drive to get a bit to eat.

I like these great for yoga
I have bought I know three or four pairs of these before and they actually are comfortable and I do like them the only thing is is that they don't last that long after so long of walking in them they do eventually wear out as far as being lightweight they're definitely lightweight they're not waterproof and they definitely are slip resistant and they are correct to the size they just don't last that long after months of daily usage on these they do wear quickly.

Better than I was expecting
I ordered these for a week-long trip to an active beach/pool/water sport resort. I am grossed-out by walking barefoot in public places where other people walk barefoot. Stepping in water dripping from people is even more disgusting to me. In addition to the aspects above, I used them when snorkeling to avoid stepping directly on rocks and when jet-skiing. They also work for avoiding hot sand and pavement. My goal was to get a week of use out of these, as I assumed they would fall apart after a week of almost all day use. But they exceeded my expectations. In addition to them being constructed well, they had a flexible rubber insert that was easily removable for washing out sand at the end of the day. These dried-out nearly completely just from sitting on the balcony overnight. Although these have a sporty "sneaker" look to them which I liked, keep in mind these are "water shoes" and intended to be worn where one would normally be barefoot (in or around a pool, beach, jet-skiing, standing on line for a water slide, etc.). They are not a substitute for flip-flops or Crocs that you'd wear outside of a wet area. Again, don't be a dufus and wear them out on the street, in a restaurant, etc. - wear them where it's acceptable to be barefoot. The tops and sides are constructed well, but are a thin elastic, breathable fabric that dries quick. In addition to the rubberized inserts I mentioned, the soles are an additional layer of rubber, however, they are still thin enough to "feel" what you are walking on (a wood deck, gravel, etc.) without the direct discomfort. But unlike other reviewers, don't think these will give you traction like Spiderman - if you're walking on river rocks or any other slippery surface - make your way cautiously as you would under normal circumstances.I suggest experimenting with the sizes - some stated they were true to size, but they ran large for me. I purposely ordered mine a few weeks before I needed them and had to return them for a smaller size - they weren't even close for me. I wear a size 12 sneaker and ordered these in a men's 12 and they were well over an inch too big. They were so big I assumed one size wouldn't help, so I ended up getting a size 10 and they fit perfect.NOTE: I purchased this item on Amazon for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are too brief or give poor reviews based on not following directions, failing to read the product details prior to purchasing or inexperience. Writing useful reviews helps pay it forward.
