User Reviews
I checked out (3) pairs for water shoes and this one beat the other two. I chose the pairs because their soles looked sturdy and had traction as we sometimes run as we warm up for dragon boating. The other two shoes did not have thick enough soles and were mainly for on water use only. I returned those. This one I kept for a number of reasons: good thick enough soles to prevent rocks or glass to jab foot; decent price; velcro closure - easy to adjust and slip on; easy to wash; looked like the photo. I did like the other shoes because they were colorful, but I will forgo style for function!
In my case (male size 12) a size 13 fit very nicely. Other customers recommended that for men, you go one size larger. That was true for me. The shows have good traction. Although the velcro collects sand, the sand washes off of the velcro pretty easily.
Looks well made. Wear is comfortable. Had to return for one size larger. Wish it had a bit more arch support.
I bought these shoes for a cruise to use on the beach and for snorkeling and they were perfect. Size is accurate and fabric was good. Shoes stayed in place when they got wet too. Great shoes for the price.
The shoes are well made and comfortable.However, there is a small problem. The Velcro that holds the stop strap stops sticking after a few minutes in the water. The shoes will still stay on, so you don't really need the strap. It just gets in the way when it is flapping back and forth.
Fit perfect
These Water Shoes are so comfortable and this style runs true to size. Would definitely buy again.
The water shoes look nice, are easy to put on and take off, and are comfortable. The velcro-fastened strap helps to adjust them to ensure they don't slip or my feet slide. They do have a little cushioning for additional comfort. I'm very pleased with them.
