Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These water shoes are awesome! So lightweight, you barely notice them. The drain holes are a great idea, and work great. The sole is soft and comfortable, and gives enough padding (about 1/4" at the front, and 1/2" at the heel) to protect your feet from small rocks that would be uncomfortable to walk on with typical thin rubber-sole water shoes. The style is also nice looking, these can easily work as a casual athletic shoe for walking around town or even some light exercise; they look very similar to some of the lightweight knit athletic shoes that have been popular recently. These would be five stars for sure, but I'm rating four stars because these shoes run WAY large - I had to return three different pair that were too big. I have only worn 12 or 13 US size for most of my life, so I ordered both of those sizes. The 12 was huge, so I returned those and got an 11. Even the 11 had a lot of extra room beyond my toes. So I ordered a 10.5, which fits perfectly! I haven't worn a 10.5 since middle school, haha! If you expect to need these right away, I suggest ordering a couple different sizes at once, smaller than what you normally wear, so that you have a few sizes to try on.
