Great shoes! I wore them while on a desert island with very rough, coral shores (Bonaire) and they performed admirably, protecting my feet from the sharp coral much better than did my regular fin-boots. The sole is thick and tough and provides almost Octopus-like gripping power on slippery tile surfaces. The uppers drain quickly thanks to the open weave pattern and I never felt the soles were soaked. Only once did a piece of coral get into the upper that didn't wash out and forced me to take the shoe off to remove it.

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the shoes feel funky - not terrible - when worn in bare feet. The inside sole feels like prickly but soft pebbles under my feet. Again, not a horrible feeling and maybe even enjoyable to some people (like some sore of sharp foot massage or similar) but, for me, the feeling we a distraction even as the shoes performed well.

Still a good buy, IMO, and I'm sure I'll be glad I have them on our next water adventure. An added advantage is their flexibility which makes them really easy to pack!

These are not great shoes. They're inexpensive and made of...well, I dunno.
I don't care. They were my favorite shoes all summer long. They weigh almost nothing. They're virtually all "netting" so your feet breathe. There isn't a lot of support--which could be problematic for some--but without big built-in arches and things, the result is almost moccasin-like. Almost barefoot yet protected.
Water shoes, land shoes..whatever...i love em. The most comfortable pair of shoes I've owned in decades.

I've worn these shoes to church, to weddings, to the beach and to work. They look good and they're comfortable.
They're as close as you can get to going barefoot without going barefoot.
I will say the insole (which is removable for washing) is a thin piece of some kind of fabric plus a foam insole (2 separate layers). The fabric layer fell apart in the washer but the foam piece is holding up just fine.
I wouldn't wear these for a long walk but if you want to be comfortable and look somewhat dressed up these are perfect. I'd buy them again. I've worn them everyday at work for the last 10 months or so and the shoes and insole have held up just fine. They look like they did when I bought them. Great product!!!

Nice looking shoes and very comfortable. The sole is pretty thin and you can feel stones and other object through them, but as an occasional shoe they work well. I'm using them as a casual shoe with jeans, not as water shoes. They do run small so order about a size larger than you would normally wear.

Love these shoes. They are surprisingly stylish. The fit and quality are good and they look great. They make awesome water shoes and can also pass very well as casual loafers. Spent a week in Aruba and these were the only shoes I wore. I simply rinsed the sand off them when I went out on the town.
Fit: I'm a perfect size 10 in shoes. The 43M EU / 10D (M) fit me perfectly.
Comment/Suggestion: There is a thin white pad between the insole and the shoe that disintegrates when it gets wet. It causes a really yucky mess and seems like a stupid thing to put inside the shoe. Take it out before you wear these, but don't let it stop you from buying them.
