I purchased these as an additional pair of water shoes to wear besides my crocs. I was very skeptical that these would hold up. I was extremely leery on my initial use, so much so that I almost did not wear them at all.I wore them for approximately 5 hours on all different types of terrain. I wore them on carpet, all throughout Labadee as shoes, in smooth water, shell and rock laden water, through smooth and not so smooth sand, up and down rocky uneven terrain and on cement. They not only held up, but were extremely comfortable.Once or twice I had to take them off to remove a pebble that lodged under my foot, but that was nothing major at all. The grip on these water shoes is amazing. They did not slip once while on wet rocks, floors etc. They stretch somewhat and grip to the form of your feet. You feel as if you are walking in your bare feet. I would not suggest walking on large shards of glass or anything of that nature with these, but other than that, WOW is all I have to say.I thought for sure these shoes would leave my feet with tanned circle marks, but not one single circle was left on my feet. While my daughter’s crocs left behind the dreaded tanned circle marks on hers.I am going to purchase another pair for next summer.I like these cute water shoes, wore them a few times and they are comfortable and cute and will probably buy another pair in a different color next summer just for some variety.This is my second pair I just wanted a different color I’ll wear them almost like gym shoes cause they’re so comfortable I love themLove the shoes, they fit like a glove . I’m going to buy other colors.Comparing to expensive water shoes, this are the winnersI like the fit and they worked great on my cruise vacation and time at the beach. The only downside is they have a plastic/rubber smell. I put scented dryer sheets with them in a bag to store, left them in my garage and neither helped.These are so comfortable! I am going to buy a second pair the non slip grip on the bottom was excellent.Very good for the price! I love them, just for the beach and rivers …Pros: This is the perfect shoe; especially if you have to be on your feet all day. I am a elementary school teacher and I am on my feet constantly moving all day long. These shoes feel like you don't have anything on your feet. They are great!! I usually wear shoes with some type of arch support. These shoes offer no support at all however, I put in my arch supports and I am good to go! I also ordered the pink and aqua colored ones too. I am returning the aqua. Aqua is not a good color for me.Ces chaussures sont souples et confo. Je les utilise pour les sport d'eau (kayak, paddle board). Bien que ce soit décrit comme pouvant faire de la marche; mon opinion va plutôt dans le sens contraire car il n'y a aucun support pour le pied, c'est une chaussure qui molle, ce qui la rend confo dans l'eau.Liked the fit and comfortability. Dislike the polka dot tan my feet get.J'adore!
