Comfortable (never got to wear in water, but were comfortable walking around)

Bought these shoes for my husband who was going on a trip to Menorca Spain. He needed shoes that he could easily ho in the water with, but still hop on and off the scooter he'd be driving from beach to beach on the island. The fit was great and they were really comfortable and he liked that they looked like running shoes but weren't bulky at all and easily fit in his backpack along with the rest of his stuff for their 10 day trip. Unfortunately, his bags were stolen their second day in Spain and he was never able to actually wear these in the water, just around our house to wear them in before he left. But, he gives them 5 stars based on their look, easy fitting into you bag and their comfort.

I'm a water shoe type a dude...

I bought these to wear to work because my feet got hot at work and I thought to myself, "I need shoes that are much more breathable". Through thorough research and application of my various investigative skills acquired from a life of conscious inquisitive querying I found these here "quick drying watershoes". I was intrigued. Was this the answer to my dilemma? I received them as swift as a coursing river (shoutout to Mulan). My first impressions were better than I expected. This was a purely unadulterated functional purchase but were my eyes decieving me? They actually looked good! I shouted to the skies my praises to the donut dieties for their bestowel of such a marvelous blessing upon me! I turned to my beloved and expressed the thoughts permeating my every synapse... Am I a water shoe type a dude? My philosophy has always been centered on one thing and one thing only. I am NOT a water shoe type a dude. My world was spinning, my foundation crumbling. I saw a parade of images of ugly slip ons worn by middle aged overweight men flashing before me from past experiences. Was I turning into one of these men burned into my bank of images or was the watershoe industry evolving? Have I changed or has the world around me? I felt as if i had lived a thousand lives though only a few moments had passed. As a turned to the love of my life with tears in my eyes, I uttered one phrase... "I am a water shoe type of dude" I wear these daily and get complimented often! Mostly by me but hey you have to love yourself first.

Great water shoes

After going to the river to swim for three weekends in a row, I determined I was going to get a shoe that would save the bottom of my feet. These work perfectly. They have a significant sole on the bottom to keep rocks from impaling your precious feet, but not so large as to encumber your movements. The tread on the bottom of the shoe is decently grippy and doesn't cause you to slide all over the rocks. There are large holes in the bottom of the sole that pebbles often get caught it, but I don't really see a way for that to be avoided. Sand will come through the holes, but doesn't remain trapped in the bottom of the shoes and doesn't give you the gritty feeling of walking on dirt. The shoes dry pretty quickly if left in direct sunlight, but do seem to take awhile if not. However, as I expect my feet to be getting wet when I put them on, I don't really care. I carry a plastic bag in the car to keep them from dripping, but usually they are sufficiently dry by the time I get back to the car. I was worried when I first tried them on that they would slip off when trying to swim, and I avoided kicking my legs too hard. However, that proved to be a needless concern as I have been swimming with them while kicking the last few times and they have never slipped off. As for the appearance of the shoe, I don't really care, but my wife and her girlfriend both said that they looked nice enough to wear around as a normal shoe. I don't do this as that is not their purpose, but I guess they look alright. I am very happy with this product.

A near perfect water sport shoe and also for non water sports

First of all, these shoes run large. This is good because I normally wear 15s and the 14 fit well enough. These are very light and comfortable and the inside feels good on my feet with adequate support. I have had many water shoes that hurt my feet because they are completely flat and these aren't. They are very good looking and if there is any fault it is the elastic laces could be better. I like lock laces so I could be spoiled. When I first tried on the shoe I was thinking these are light like Huaraches. Anyway, I will be buying more.

Backpacker's Dream

I purchased these for a 7 day backpack in Olympic National Park. Several river fords were on the route. I had high hopes for these and they surpassed my expectations. They worked very well for river crossings, protecting my feet from rocks and giving decent traction. They dried fairly quickly. They were also excellent camp shoes. And they are extremely light. My past favorite camp shoes were Nike Mayfly's, a racing flat that is no longer made. A pair of those in size 9.5 weigh 270 grams / 9.5 ounces. (They aren't great as water shoes.) A pair of the Zhuanglin's in size 9.5 weigh 260 grams / 9.2 ounces. If you are hard-core ultra-light, you could remove the insoles, resulting in a weight of 234 grams / 8.25 ounces. In my opinion, this would degrade their utility and comfort as camp shoes. The holes in the soles (rhyme unintended) pick up small rocks and sticks. In a situation where weight was not an issue, this could be considered to be a negative.

The hype is real, great deal

I am honestly ecstatic with these shoes. I’ve only worn them in swimming pools, so can’t speak to sand or rocks, but they are insanely comfortable. The upper dries very quickly, and the shoes stay snug on my feet without being tight. True fit to size, as well. I run, so my feet can get sore/sensitive to uncomfortable shoes. I swear, I wish I could wear these all the time. I can not believe how comfortable the sole is, very soft...but perfectly firm as well. Like firm memory foam. These shoes allow me to get great grip in the pool. So many pools have rough bottoms that can scratch feet easily, especially after swimming for a while and your feet get pruny. With these shoes, it’s not a problem. No more stubbing a toe either. I’ve used these 5 times or so, maybe a little more, and they hold up perfectly. Nothing unraveling or loosening up. If you want swim shoes, get these!!

bought these for my husband and they fit perfect. Read reviews prior to purchase so bought a size down and that was exactly correct. Very lightweight will be great for any water activity. They come in a zip plastic bag I plan to save for when they are wet and we are packing. The only thing is they smell really strong like plastic, so you may want to air them out outside for a while.

Perfect for the ultralight hiker and very reasonably priced.

I bought these shoes for hiking under wet conditions. Today, I wore them on a quick 12-mile hike, and they performed far beyond my expectations. First, they are far more solidly than one would expect out of a ~25.00 shoe. At 4.7 oz/ shoe for my size 11 pair, they feel like you are floating slightly off the ground. As the old hiker's adage goes, "an ounce on the feet, a pound on the back. The soft rubber soles provide really excellent traction comparable to my Vibram-soled Merrill trail runners. at 8.7 oz. per shoe. The soft rubber suggests that they won't last as long as the Merrill's, however. Considering that I paid four times as much for the Merrills, I don't mind a bit. I wouldn't do a thru-hike with them, but for a weekend warrior hike, they can't be beat, especially if you're expecting a lot of stream crossings or wet weather. If you require a bit more toe splay that average (I do), I'd suggest ordering them a half-size up. (I normally wear a 10.5, and the 11's didn't squeeze my toes at all. The lack of arch support isn't a problem since I wear only zero-drop shoes anyway. The mesh design and holes in the soles are a real plus. They dry like a flash. Adequate front-of foot support.

Great shoes, why aren't you ordering a pair?

I like these water shoes. They fit well and were comfortable when I wore them. They shed water quickly when I took them to the lake and got in the water. I've seen a couple of reviews commenting on no arch support. Well, these aren't athletic shoes, they're water shoes and I didn't expect them to have arch support like a regular shoe does. I did notice that the holes on the bottom of the sole have a tendency to have rocks lodge in the holes. But that didn't affect the comfort or function of the shoes. I didn't get any sand in my shoes, which is a problem I've had with other water shoes. The cuff around the ankle fits snugly and keeps things like sand and small rocks out. I'm anxious to see how they fit as they are worn more. I went with an 11 (45) and am afraid that as they get worn out the elasticity will loosen and the shoes and cuff will be loose. Time will tell, but I do love these shoes and am glad I bought them.
