Amazing magical shoes
I use vibram five finger shoes all day every day but I wear toe socks with them and they have a tendency of getting soaked unless you waterproof the shoes. This makes it difficult to traverse extremely wet environments. So i bought these so I can swap out in case I decide to walk through the woods in the rain or if I feel like going into the water. Not only do they dry rapidly but they help me keep my grip even in the most slick environments. they fit great and they work great, 200/10

Best shoes
Heads up! These shoes are awesome, and have become my main pair. They are more comfortable than Sandals, very stable, don’t slip in wet conditions. Everything feels natural when walking/hiking in these. Admittedly, their breathability is mostly a plus, but keep in mind that these are like advanced water shoes, and they do have holes in the bottom. If you wear them with socks make sure you’re going somewhere dry. But they are just as comfortable without socks. The only other thing I don’t like is that the straps on the side of the shoes don’t have a long enough strip of velcro to make it quite as snug as I like, but it’s not a biggie.

Fit Great fit & Comfort
I own about 8 pairs of Vibram's in different styles, love the shoe's, these new ones (V aqua walking shoe) are without a doubt the most comfortable of all the others, I could wear them for house shoes. They do run just a little small, I usually wear 39 or 40 however these are 40 & fit perfect. Can't wait to wear them at the beach & to ride my bicycle. I have worn these vibrates everywhere & I love them the most convertible ones I gave.

Awesome traction and protection. Beware of sizing.
Very cool product however I saw a few mixed reviews pertaining to size, mostly that this product runs small. For me, this is not the case. I wear an 11.5 and was almost convinced to go larger but stuck to the 11.5 based off of a review. I find the 11.5 to actually be a bit too long causing me to adjust the rear strap almost to the point where there is very little Velcro to secure the strap in place. This will sometimes cause the strap to come undone when I wipeout on my SUP. Other than that, these have great traction and able to walk on reef/rocks with no pain.

Can I just return these?
I got a pair of the original five finger vibram water shoes. They finally tore apart at the seams on me after what... 10 years almost of having them? So hardly a first-time-wearer.These suck. They are too big just slightly which probably contributed to my experience. The old ones had problems with small stuff getting in them too and they were perfectly sized though. Always annoyed me.I just bought these, wore them for the first time this past weekend camping/floating, and I spent the majority of the time on our river float last weekend having to take them off constantly to wash the little pebbles and rocks out of them.Each and every time I got out of the raft, I'd have both "shoes" full of little river rocks. They have to be intolerable to wear on sand, because they were terrible on a simple river float.Meanwhile, I got my son some sandle-style water shoes. When he got rocks in his shoes, he's splash it in the water and be fine as they drain right out. I thought I was being cool getting the nifty ones. Nope, I was the one having to take my shoes off, rinse them out, wash off my feet, and wrestle my toes back into them each time I get out of the raft. And aiming wet toes into wet rubber foot gloves isn't easy. Especially when you have to do it each time you decide to step into the river unless you want to walk around with your feet in rubber socks full of pebbles to step on with bare feet.Another person on this float trip was also wearing a new pair of vibrams. She had the same experience. We both decided we're not gonna use vibrams for float trip shoes going forward.As such, I have no use for these. I wore them, and I understand "Caveat Emptor" and all. If I can't return them, I guess I'll let them rot in the closet and go spend 5 bucks on some decent float shoes that don't suck at trapping rocks in them the whole trip. Not like I could in good conscious sell them to someone else. I have ethics like that.They were fine for walking around the campground. But I sure was happy to put my hiking boots back on when I got off the river.Can't recommend anymore. Really liked my original vibrams, but I guess the novelty of the toe shoe thing wore off and I realized they just plain aren't very good footwear. Certainly not worth the price. I have friends who love them. I think they just are still swept up in the novelty though.I'm gonna suggest pass on these, shoppers. Go get something comfortable and functional instead of novel.

great for ultra wide feet
I have wide feet (4E) and there is enough stretch in the front of these to accommodate them.I am missing a tendon in my ankle due to a bad set of sprains and these shoes give me the same great stability that I feel when walking barefoot. I can walk on uneven surfaces without any sense that I'm about to roll my ankle and fall over. When I wear regular shoes, I can only safely walk on perfectly smooth surfaces.I think if I had known about Vibram, I probably wouldn't have sprained my ankle and tore my tendon to begin with. Not having the thick sole of a running shoe removes the extra stress on your tendon when things aren't perfectly flat. These are great and I now wear them any time I'm in the yard working. Even stepping on sharp rocks doesn't cause any pain which is great. They are like an extension of the pad of your feet.
