User Reviews
These are great for canoeing, rafting and wearing in the river. Very solid, hard soles protect your feet from the sharp rocks, and they drain & dry fast. I like the mesh because it screens out most heavy silt & rocks so you don’t have a lot of debris inside the shoes. One note; they do run about 1/2 size large, otherwise, this product is as advertised & I will definely buy again.
The shoe is off great quality, however, shoe size runs very big. I would recommend if you wear a 10.5 dress shoe or 11 sneaker, to order av10 in these.
Looks good quality. Didn't have yet chance to try them out in the water, but form look and feel they should be durable. I needed one with a bit stiffer sole, so I'll keep these.
I have been searching to find a good pair of water shoes for Aqua Therapy, I must have tried 15 pairs ranging in price from $15-$75. These are the most expensive pair I've tried and they have a premium look and feel but that's where it ends. First of all I wear a size 10 in every shoe ever made and the 10 in this shoe is more like a 10.5 or 11. I had to return the first pair I got and order a 9.5, which fit like a 10. Next their functionality isn't anywhere close to what it should be in a pair of $75 water shoes. I was constantly slipping and losing my footing in the water, especially when walking backwards. They weren't very comfortable either but they may just need a break in period so I'll reserve judgement on that. Finally they take longer than most water shoes when it comes to drying, I had them out in the sun for over a day before they were fully dried. So to sum it up, they look like you spent $75 on them but perform like you spent $10 on them.
Well made, nice water shoes with good grip. Much better than the inexpensive Walmart variety!
