Perfect fit
I can never have enough of these Minimalist shoes. These did not disappoint. The color was exactly as advertised and they are true to size. You’re a great value and I can get them in multiple colors. They are incredibly comfortable although they don’t provide support to your upper foot. There are decent quality and the ones that I’ve had have stood the test of time except for when my dog chewed them up

Very comfortable
When I received this, my first thought was that they don’t look very comfortable. However, once I tried them on I was very pleasantly surprised. They’re a lot more comfortable than my old neoprene water shoes. And a lot lighter too. It’s the middle of winter here now so I can’t really go wading around in a stream, but given the construction of the sides of the shoe, they’ll definitely drain water fine – it looks like there’s a foam grid, covered by mesh on the outside and standard synthetic fabric on the inside. The insole is also made of a gridded foam, and then there are a few small drain holes in the bottom of the shoe.The main part of the shoe looks to be glued to the sole. How long this will last, I don’t know. It seems to be a weak point vs a sewn construction. My main durability concern is the laces. The holes for the laces aren’t reinforced except with a thin layer of rubber paint over the whole area. I can see that a couple of the lace holes are already starting to deform. I’m very concerned that these will tear out.As I mentioned, the shoe is very comfortable. Most of this seems to come down to the insole which isn’t too soft or too firm. The front of the shoe also has a generous amount of room for your foot without being sloppy. Sizing seems to run accurate. I wish the tongue were at least partially attached. It has a tendency to slide around and is only vaguely kept in place by a loop the laces go through.My pair of men’s size 9 (42 EU) weighs 15.4 ounces which is a bit heavier than I’d hoped as I was considering these for camp shoes when backpacking.

They just feel off
These shoes look cute in the photos, but the make of them is so cheap. They just feel floppy – I have wide feet but these feel extreme. They work for water shoes, and definlty are not tight, but will struggle to use them because they are so floppy and look so bad in person.

Very roomy toe box.
These barefoot shoes have a molded footbed that follow the shape of my foot. The elastic laces have a locking mechanism so they don’t need to be tied, and the laces stay tight while wearing them. They have nice arch support and a lot of room for your toes. I wear silicone toe spreaders and have plenty of room. I ordered a ladies size 8-1/2 and received a size 40 (normally 8-1/2 is equal to a 39), which is a little larger than I would have preferred, but they can be cinched up enough that it isn’t really a problem. So, if you order these, consider ordering a half size smaller, unless you like a particularly roomy shoe. The tongue is wide enough to stay centered during use.

Put Your Toes in the Sand
When I first opened these shoes I thought that there was no way they could be comfortable. Wrong! They’re very lightweight and mold to your feet well once they’re on. With spring approaching I look forward to putting them on to wade a nearby stream or even work in my garden, as my feet get dirty and need a rinse often. I ordered the black and green to keep them from showing wear and dirt as much. I really like that they’re “toe” shoes, too.

Size down when buying
Go down a full size when buying. I got my usual shoe size and it’s way too big. Now I’m stuck with them because returns are too much trouble. 🙄

Runs large!
These are a really cute water shoe, with nice padding around the ankles that make them seem more comfortable than other water shoes. They look more like a sneaker from a distance, and have a well padded sole to walk from a car parked on a road to the beach. They have an elastic cord lace to adjust the tightness. Unfortunately, they run too large. I usually wear a women’s size 9. They didn’t have that size, so I sized down to 8.5 since I want my water shoes snug anyway. They are still at least a half size too large. Inside the shoe, it says 40, which is usually a 9 in US sizes, so I don’t think they converted right. I’d have chosen sizes better if they just listed the euro sizing.
