Bought these for a trip involving beach time and ocean kayaking. Thought they would be great. The insoles don't drain at all. It's like walking in a little puddle all the time once they are wet. They are multiple layers of foam or something, with holes through them (not sure why because there's no drainage holes). Once they got in sand the sand went in the holes and between the layers of foam. That's it. They were done. They now weigh twice as much as before and it's been a week and sand still dribbles out of them and has formed lumps between the layers. They are ruined. Why would you make water shoes that can't be worn in sand? It's madness. They are cheap crap. I'd send them back if I could.

*update-edit*
Unfortunately, I had to mark it down a star because the right shoe's sole is not centered on my foot. I ordered another pair of these shoes and they appear to have the same problem. My foot overlaps the sole just a tad over the inner right sole. If they can fix this issue I would say they're a perfect shoe. Oh yeah, and the customer service is top notch.

These shoes obviously run small. I am a true 11.5 and the 46(size 12) fit too snug with the insole in. When I take them out they fit perfectly. The vents are great for the 3 summers we get in Arizona.
Now we'll just see how long they last but if they stay in tact they might be pound for pound the greatest shoes ever created

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!

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.

Item arrived on time and as expected. Shoe looks great and quality is good, too bad item was too small and I got blisters from using them on the beach for one day... I usually wear size 8.5 (and ordered size 8.5) but I should have ordered size 9. I thought they would expand... but they didn't... too bad as I really liked them...
