Head over heels 🥰
2021 UPDATE: One of my straps popped after very good amount of wear at amusement parks and pools. I would often get stopped by life guards saying "take your shoes off" or "no shoes in the pool". I was always proud to brag "These are water shoes!" The most comfortable water shoes you could imagine, they dry and drain quickly, and they absorb the impact of walking so my joints don't feel the stress. Needless to say, I ordered a different yet almost identical style of RAX water shoe two hours after I realized my shoe was broken, but still wearable (which I did for 6 hours at Six Flags yesterday) because these got a bit too pricey, but I would have purchased them if the other RAX style wasn't available for $30 less than this style. I literally ordered them while I was standing in the wave pool! One strap popped closest to the pinky toe, and it did not affect the wear, functionality, nor comfort of the shoe. Me replacing is purely for cosmetic reasons, and now I have TWO pair of RAX water shoes, the older pair will just watch the fun from the bench!!!!! Even for close to $80 bucks, these shoes are so worth it, perfect sneaker-like shoe for anything involving water, water sports, and even every day wear.2019: I just got these 20 minutes ago from the Amazon Hub as me and mini me are on our way to six flags and they are on my feet already! These are the BEST water shoes I've ever purchased. I have a re-torn ACL and torn meniscus, along with arthritis in both knees but that means nothing to my 4 year old so I needed something supportive with a good grip that could go from the water to amusement park walking easily and comfortably without regretting my decision. These definitely fit the bill but I'll update my review if they don't meet my expectations at Six Flags.

Great water shoe
I bought these shoes for kayaking. They dry quickly and remain snug on my feet even walking through silty river bottoms, with pretty darn good traction once you get out of the water and are walking on slippery rocks. The only main con that I have found is it can start rubbing a blister into my heel if I wear them for too long, especially if I'm walking through sand as it will start chaffing pretty quickly. If I'm camping at the end of the kayak trip, or making a stop and exploring the woods for more than a few minutes, I'll take them off and put on regular boots/shoes, but I have to bring blister bandaids to strap to my heel just in case. But for water use and light hiking, I find these to be fantastic and very comfortable.

Excellent shoes!
I bought a pair for hiking in the Tetons and they held up, had plenty of traction, looked great, etc. Worth the buy, but one star gone for sizing issue. When I first bought them and wore around the house, the size was good, but once I put some stress on down hill hikes, my foot pressure seemed to stretch them out a bit and made the show feel a little to large and unstable. It was too late to return after my 21 days in the back country. I'd buy a size smaller if you plan to hike downhill on steep terrain.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
I bought these for a 6 day cruise and these things were super comfortable, dried fast, easy to put on and take off, and never had to worry about tying the laces. Not only that, I wore them when I was at the beach in ocean with some water socks and these bad boys cleaned up and dried with no problem while I walked around two difference cities and beaches. I never took them off for not only that cruise but another 7 day cruise later. These are the best pair of shoes I've ever wore for water. 5 stars and I'll probably buy the black ones.

General watershoe with extra tread
I would say come down a half size from the original you wear, instead of up, otherwise it will be downright floppy in the rear.As far as the shoe itself, like others have said, the rear is not very secure, it is cut low and does not grip the rear of the heel and even though there is a small piece to tighten back there, it does not keep it's grip. It's a decent shoe with some good tread, but not what I would call a serious hiking shoe, because of the loose/flimsy heal slippage.
