Comfortable water shoes with good arch support
I have been wearing these water shoes in the ocean every day since they were delivered. I always go to rocky beaches and wearing shoes in the water is necessary. I would even wear these in a lake or a sandy beach, because I like to protect the bottoms of my feet. My old shoes were in dire need of replacement. These are the most comfortable water shoes that I have owned in more than ten years. The liner is nice and thick. It's nice to have good padding in the shoe. There is no thin nylon liner to come loose all the time. This padding is the thickest that I've ever had in a water shoe and will hold up well. It's easy to free up the padding when drying out the shoe, and the padding keeps its shape. These even have arch support! These work well for my wide feet, due to bunions, and there is no irritation. The tightness can be adjusted on top of your arch, so these will probably never have the stretched-out fit of so many other shoes. I need to walk down a pebbly ramp to get to the beach, and the grip on the bottom seems good. I highly recommend these water shoes for protecting your feet at the beach. They are very sturdy, comfortable, and practical.

Very comfortable and tough shoe.
These shoes were so comfortable, feel very soft around your feet. No binding or chaffing points. They fit me perfect (similar to most sneaker sizes as far as I can tell) and worked perfect for our trip to Fiji. We used them on the beaches to walk over the rocks and broken coral pieces in the water and over the volcanic rock on the shore. Great protection. They also worked great for the hot decks around pools and such. Only drawback was they took a little long to dry, worked best if you made sure to wring them out a little first. Of course if you put them in the sun it was no problem.

Good shoe that is worth the money but don't expect it to last forever
I wore these shoes on a 10 day trip to Costa Rica and they were perfect for hiking waterfalls and exploring rocky beaches, especially in the rainy season.PROS: Soles are thicker than most "water shoes" so they are comfy even on sharp rocks. They have pretty good traction so I could climb on mossy rocks without slipping. They are comfortable and didn't give me blisters, even without socks.CONS: They are inexpensive shoes so don't expect them to last forever. After the 10 day trip, they are fraying a bit in the soles and the bottom shows a lot of wear. They could probably handle one more trip at the most. They won't dry overnight in humid weather.

This is a great water shoe
This is a great water shoe. The shoes do run small, so I would order a size larger.The shoes are tight fitting, which keeps anything from getting in, and will not slip off. The bottom of the shoe is very sturdy rubber, and are comfortable to walk in over any surface.I took these shoes camping, and was able to wear them all over the campsite, and to the river. They got soaked and dried very quickly. The drawstring laces are a nice way to ensure they fit tight.

good shoes, watch out for the shipping charge
When I first got these shoes I seriously considered sending them back bc they look like they are on backwards. However, once I tried them on they felt so comfortable I decided to keep them. I went fishing the other day and had to get in the water. Bottom was muddy and my feet were sinking in the mud, but these shoes stayed on my feet no problem at all. Then I got on the rocks. I was concerned I would feel the rocky terrain through the soles. I was pleasently surprised to find that was not the case. The shoes sold for a decent price, but I paid no attention to the shipping charges and that's where they got me. It drove the price up 50%. Had I paid attention the the shipping charges, I probably would not have bought them.

Best fitting shoe I have found
This is the best shoe I have ever worn. It looked like this company might have stopped making this shoe. I am glad I found it here.I have wide feet and have problems finding any shoes that fit. These shoes feel about as comfortable as socks. They fit my foot width AND arch height. Most "wide" shoes seem to assume people have duck feet. I like these fittnig my entire foot.The amazing thing about these shoes is that they are surprisingly warm in the winter in snow. And I like them for hiking because I can feel the trail and rocks under my feet in a good way; I feel more in control in iffy footing areas. And they grip better than other shoes on tralis and on rocks in streams.One thing about these shoes is they are flat on bottom. I added an insert support which made them a lot more comfortable for walking and hiking.

Great prices water shoes.
I am going white water rafting for a week and needed water shoes, something to wear around camp grounds and in the river. These shoes feel really good and I am pretty picky. The sole is thick enough to walk over rocks without feeling them on your feet. Most shoes I wear a 10.5 wide or 11, but after seeing reviewers say they run big I bought size 10 and they fit perfect. So as long as you order 1/2 to 1 size smaller you should be fine. They are wide so will fit wide feet great. They look nice, almost like normal shoes, will put them through the intimate test in 2 weeks. The material on top is like scuba suit and mesh, so they should dry super quick.
