I love that it's a sock and not a bulky/heavy shoe. It conforms to my child's foot and she can walk around easily and comfortably on the rocks at the beach, it protects her feet from the heat of the sand and offers sun protection too. This is a really nice water sock.
Sizing is way off. My son has tiny narrow feet and the Medium (9-12) doesnt fit him and he wheres an 11... I bought them for our trip and now being the end of the summer cant find a size large or get it shipped to me before the trip.
top part of sock too small can not fit over foot. I should have returned them.
made for INFANTS!!!! size medium is really for a baby...ridiculous
I bought two pair of these for my daughter who has very sensitive feet. Although I know they are "beach socks", I bought them for her to wear around the pool to protect her feet from getting torn up by the concrete. After three trips to the pool the first pair had holes in the big toe and were coming apart at the seams by her pinky toe. The second pair had holes in them after only one trip to the pool. My daughter wears a size 9 and I bought a Medium, and they were hard to get on, but once on, she was happy. They would be great if you're only going to the beach or on soft surfaces, but not around the pool.
I have a child with spina bifida. Her feet have no feeling and she is very sensitive to rough surfaces. We wanted to use the socks to protect her feet in the water. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any bigger sizes and the sizing was way small.
