High Quality and Comfort
Bought these for my purple-obsessed daughter to use at daycare when doing 'water-play.' I was a little hesitant to pay almost $20 for a pair of water shoes without having seen them, but now I am happy that I did. The quality far surpasses any of these types of shoes we've had in the past. The sole is sturdy, and my little one looks incredibly comfortable in them. I feel as though they will last a really long time. The water shoes are also really easy for a toddler to get on. They are of a much higher quality, so the fit is more like that of a sneaker than a typical water shoe that you'd find at big box stores. They also dry very quickly, and look very stylish. Very happy with this purchase.

High quality, perfect all around shoe
Holy cow, I’m obsessed with these shoes! These are straight up as nice as some Keen toddler shoes I was going to purchase at my local sporting goods store. They fit true to size, are soft enough inside for baby not to wear socks (I still suggest they do), have an adjustable elastic drawstring that won’t budge, and the bottom sole is such high quality grippy rubber that is PERFECT for being outdoors or for new walkers.

Great water shoe!
These shoes have survived 10 weeks of daily summer day camp use and abuse by my son. We have also used them at the beach and on kayak/canoe outings on weekends. They run about a half-size large, which I learned from other reviews. Expecting growth during the summer months, I ordered a half-size up and they fit fine with a little toe room for growth.They have a cute design, dry quickly when you remove the soles after use, and are easy to clean with some detergent or even dish soap. Can air-dry or tumble low in the dryer with no damage. The rubber soles have gotten a bit worn down, but after heavy use it's no surprise. The only issue is it makes them a bit slippery on certain floors. Example: My son slipped in the changing room at camp while wearing them. (He was fine, save a bruise)Also, even if you air dry them daily after being used, they will STINK after a few days. Remove the soles, scrub them out and dry them thoroughly and you are good to go. At this point (week 10 of use) the rubber at the toe is beginning to pull away from the nylon/mesh shoe part. Nothing some krazy glue can't fix. And don't let your kiddo run around in these things for the entire day, mine decided not to wear his sneakers after swim time and ended up with some minor scrapes and small blisters on the sides of his feet. Most likely a combination of the fabric, lack of socks, and wetness of the shoes themselves. His fault, not the shoe.Bottom line: great shoes, good deal, able to survive the daily abuse of a 5 year old boy at day camp all summer. Recommended!

They look good and are comfortable.
I got these for my kid to wear to Great Wolf Lodge. They withstood the day of climbing, swimming, running, and water sliding without getting loose and floppy or the liner slipping around inside -(I hate that about cheap water shoes). They are easy to get on, and tighten to any comfort level with the slide cord on top.My 6 year old is bothered by any rubbing or scratching with her clothes, and she never complained about these shoes making her uncomfortable. I've ordered shoes before that were way too small for the size they said and was dreading that happening, but luckily when I ordered these in her current size, they were exactly right for her feet. Oh and they are super cute and look just like the picture.

Decent item, but not as expected.
I wear a US Women's 6.5 in most shoes, can get into US Women's 6 for other brands. I bought the Kid 6 and it was 2 inches too long on my foot. I returned the item (easy to do) and ordered the Kid 5 and it is still an inch too long on my foot. I can tighten the bungees to make the shoe tight enough to stay on, but I've got room to spare. I won't be walking far distances in these (I bought them to wear while kayaking), so the extra room is not a big deal. Materials are good, colors are true.

Great fit for us... Sturdy so far!
Easy to get on and off! I always struggled putting on and taking off swim shoes and many seem tight, with a narrow foot opening...especially when wet. These have a tongue, so it is easy to make the foot opening wide. The shoe fell off once or twice but it was not a big deal. There's an elastic cinch to make the shoe fit tighter. The shoe seems sturdy so far with a nice rubber bottom. We have had them for about 2 months, using them at a pool or lake at least once a week. Nice bright color...we ordered fuchsia. For what it's worth, my daughter is on the high end of the growth percentile chart...I can see a child with a narrow foot may have problems with the shoe slipping off more as other readers have said but can't say for sure of course. It worked great for us!!!

Wondeful Kids watershoe
I bought these shoes for my daughter for a family lake vacation. I wanted to find something that she could wear on and off of the boat without having to change shoes constantly. These were perfect! They were cute and they fit very well. Also, they hold up well to kids wear and tear. The bottoms have good grip and are not slippery when wet. I also like that they don't look like your normal everyday water shoe.
