Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought four of these for my family for our river hike. They are comfortable and the bottoms are thick enough that they protect your feet. Sand does get in but not as much as other sandals or shoes. Now for sizing, I think it really depends on your foot shape. If your feet tend to be narrow or slim, I'd go with your size. If you have wider feet go a half size up. If you feel your feet are average then go your size or half up. I usually wear a 7,5 or 8, and decided to get the 7.5 because I was worried that the shoe would be too loose. Now these shoes don't have much stretch so for wider feet I recommend a half size bigger. The 7.5 fit me well but I noticed that they hurt my pinky toe and big toe because over time your feet swells a bit. Especially since I wore these in the water, they felt tighter. If I were to order these again, I'd get an 8 only to allow a little more room to stretch my toes. My mom has very slim feet and she usually wears a 6.5. However she got a 7 thinking the extra room would help. Although the length of the shoe felt comfortable for her, she had to wear socks because the sides were a bit loose.
