product performed well in/out of water for multi-purposes.comfortable and light, weight dries quickly. only suggestion is additional velcro needed on top of strap to be able to adjust tightness.
I wore the shoes in the river, it had a rocky bottom. They provided plenty of support and allowed water to drain out quickly. I also walked in the shoes around the river banks, they were fine for that too. I plan to wear them to a water park in a couple weeks. My only complaint is that the strap that goes across the top of the foot needs to be a bit longer. It felt too tight, but the actual fit of the shoe on my foot was perfect.
I ordered one size smaller because of some coments, and NO, it is tight,I should order the size that I actually use,the shoes are beautiful, but the velcro doesnt work too well, when im doing aquarobics in the pool.I like very much the shoes but...the velcro is always loose
I teach water aerobics five days a week and these velcro strap will not hold when performing intense moves in the shallow end. They felt true to size and were comfortable, but they did not perform for my purposes.
I wear these while teaching aqua aerobics. These water shoes are better than most I've tried but they're a little uncomfortable. The velcro strap pops loose sometimes and when I tighten it, it leaves a red mark and irritates the top of my foot while exercising. All in all, they get a pretty good however I don't think I'd buy another pair.
Shoe has great traction, but not much support. Toe box is wide, and shallow. When kicking in the water, my toes slip out of the shoe as the shoes bends away due to the resistance of the water. This is not because the shoe is too long for my foot, as my toes touch the end, but because the mesh covering the toes does not go far enough up the instep. In addition, the velcro closure gives out once the shoe is soaking wet. I muct pin the strap closed to ensure that it does not come unhooked while working out.. The price was great, and if you are merely wearing them for river rafting or walking is wet conditions, they would most likely be fine.
The band was too tight and when I went to where happened to be sand, it was hard to take out sand from the shoes.
I ended up buying two sizes. I wear a size 8 1/2 in my running shoe and bought a size 7 and a 6. I ended up wearing the size 6. Felt kinda tight on land but perfect in the water.Also the velcro isn't the best thing ever but not a deal breaker
I am returning the product because it does not fit properly.
All the reviews were very helpful because I ended up buying a size 6 when I usually wear 6.5 or 7! Very comfortable and won't slip!
