WateLves Wide Water Shoes Mens Womens Beach-Swim-Aqua-Barefoot Shoes Breathable & Non-Slip & Optimal Relaxation Walking Sneakers

Perfect for beach and water activities
I wanted a water shoe that had a hard sole and had some structure to it without being too heavy when in water. These fit the bill. Sizing: I typically wear a ladies size8 and after reading the reviews saying they ran big I ordered a 7.5 and they fit perfectly! I wore them for a week while in Antigua in and out of water and in sand and around the resort’s paved walkways. Comfortable and held their shape without my foot sliding around in them. When lodged with sand I pulled the soles out and beat them together and the sand fell out easily. They also dried quickly on our balcony overnight baking in the morning sun. Priced at $25 I think these were worth it. I want to note however that I’ve purchased (and trashed) several other pair of cheapie water socks and shoes from Amazon and I’m not sure why the shape of the toes in these products that hail from china are curved in the toe bed so significantly, but on the big toe side, many I bought have this drastic curve. This particular pair have a slight curve to them but not to where it affects walking comfortably or putting pressure on your big toe. I’m guessing it’s designed that way to accommodate a larger toe bed. I do think it could affect the sizing which is possibly why they run big in reviewers posts. See pictures.

Like putting clouds on my feet
I was not looking for water shoes, but for barefoot shoes that would give my toes room to spread and allow my feet to feel the ground under them. These got such great ratings that I decided to try them, after doing a LOT of comparison shopping. I chose a design that does not scream “water shoe! Look, I’m into water sports!” In other words, I didn’t want to draw attention to my feet. (The shoes do look great, though.)These really fit the bill. As soon as I put them on, I felt like I was resting my feet on a cloud — yes, they are that comfy. I took a walk in them, over uneven ground, and they still felt great. Even after I got home, where I normally go barefoot, I left the shoes on until evening, when I thought I should spend some time with my bare feet on my grounding mat.These shoes have a removable insole, which provides a bit of cushion but not support — which is exactly what I wanted. If you want support, you should not be looking at water shoes or “barefoot” shoes, whose aim is to take away artificial support and let your feet muscles learn to do their job again. If that’s what you want, you definitely should try these shoes.One word about sizing: I ordered the size that corresponded to my usual, which is the equivalent of a 41 in Euro sizing. When the shoes arrived, both the stickers on the soles and the size printed inside said 39. HOWEVER, when I tried them on, I knew immediately that they were the right size for me. So don’t freak out if the sticker makes it look as if you were sent the wrong size — try the shoes on before complaining or asking for a refund. I think you’ll be as happy as I am with mine.

Problems, but STILL 5 stars.
Wide, good arch support, durable, good tread. Problems 1) Wore to water park 90 straight days. One sole fell off. Re-glued with Gorilla waterproof….perfect seal. 2) Tough to dry. Remedy- leave in the sun or on top of de-humdifier. When you add the pluses and minuses, I still give it a 5-star. The water park was exercise. These shoes handle swimming well. Speed-walking in the lazy river ( current resistance) or dragging shoes on cement bottom held up well.

Come in different size
I ordered this on size 10.5 men’s and I received it way too small.

J’ai commandé ces baskets pour partir dans le sud. J’ai bien hâte de les essayer dans le sable. Elles sont très confortables, idéales pour les pieds larges. Elles taillent un peu grand mais c’est pas dramatique. Jolie couleur aussi, parfaites avec un bermuda beige.
