Detailed Review
The BASS OUTDOOR Women's Aqua Deck Shoe excels in several areas crucial for outdoor footwear. Its cushioned and contoured comfort footbed ensures that your feet remain comfortable, even during long hikes or extended periods of standing. Users often praise the whole experience of slipping into these shoes with their efficient pull-on design.
In terms of performance, the rubber sole provides excellent traction, which is essential when navigating slippery surfaces or uneven terrain. Many outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the shoe's water-resistant capabilities, allowing for quick dry times without sacrificing comfort.
However, some users have reported a need to break them in before achieving maximum comfort, particularly if one has wider feet. Additionally, while the Dusty Blue color is visually appealing, the limited color options might not cater to everyone's taste.
Overall, the BASS OUTDOOR Women's Aqua Deck Shoe is a solid investment for anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors while keeping comfort as a priority.

User Reviews
I wear these to work and get compliments all day long.
These are really quality made shoes. I got these in a size 11 in the "hwthrn rose" color. The color is a nice burgundy color and they fit perfectly and are a true size 11. The price seems to vary by size and color which I personally do not care for. Also while these are well made shoes and great quality I would not pay $79.00 for them. I do love that these shoes slip on easily and stay on with no issues. They have a nice thick sole and great traction. These shoes are water resistant and are great for the outdoors no matter the activity. They look stylish as well. I do really like these shoes and will wear them when hiking/ camping. If your fine with the price then I say get these shoes.
I like the look of these shoes. But my spouse thinks they look odd. It's definitely a style I hadn't seen before.Unfortunately, I can't say much more about them, as she reports they don't fit her. I bought the size she usually wears for running shoes. One fits OK; the other is too large. So if you are sometimes between sizes, perhaps choose the smaller one for this shoe.
Forget the word "Hiking" that got tacked on the end of the product name of this shoe (still reflected as of the date of this review); that's just the usual word salad of trying to get in a bunch of keywords to maximize search results. This BASS OUTDOOR Women's Aqua Deck Shoe (Dusty Blue/Size 7) is simply labeled as an "AQUA DECK SHOE" on their own box, and as that kind of shoe, it's great. Love the color, and it fits perfectly length-wise. (Though I'm borderline 6.5/7 on actual foot length, so those who sometimes size down might not want to do that with this shoe.) These shoes, width-wise, are tight on me, since I have wide feet. Had hoped the fabrication of the uppers would provide some stretch, and they do. So those with M or C width feet would probably find these comfortable, but it's just a tad too narrow for D & on. (I'm not docking it Stars for that, though, because that's on me; I knew these weren't marketed for wide feet. The color was so unique & pretty, so I still wanted to take a chance on them. Regular customers have the option of returns & exchanges, so y'all are good if they don't work out for you.)They're lightweight and seem to have good traction, and the footbed is a dream (firm, but with a bit of bounce). I'm hoping these'll fit me better once my feet aren't so puffy, since the slip-on styling is so easy on. And the sporty loafer look is cute with athleisure outfits.So, if you have regular width or barely wide feet, you might find these comfy as a slightly dressier version of sneakers for casual strolls or to wear on a cruise. Try your true size, since it does have some leeway on fit. It's one of those styles that can fit like a glove, yet not feel boxed in because of the slight stretch. Though if you have a thing about roomy toe boxes, then this style might not be for you.
Great quality and style! Fits true to size and love the way they feel. Very comfortable
My wife loves these.Very comfortable and can wear all day long.Nice style as well.
My wife finds these women's outdoor shoes from Bass to be comfortable if a bit overpriced. They are durable and a good shoe for walking/hiking/etc., but she calls them "granny" shoes and feels the look is a bit matronly. For our frugality, you could get a similar product for a bit less, but we understand the value in a big brand name like Bass.
If only this shoe fit as well as it looks. From the instep to the toes the shoe doesn’t contour to the foot. The color and other detailing is attractive but I wouldn’t try hiking in this shoe. Maybe it would work as a deck shoe as the soles are treaded for grip. The length might be better at a half size larger but then the wide width might become a problem leaving no snugness in either dimension.
