Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got the men’s 11-11.5 and I normally wear a10.5 or 11 men’s shoe. Nice snug fit so that sand didn’t get in. This is really a swim sock or slipper rather than water shoe. The sole is a very thin piece of flexible rubber that does not extend up from the bottom of the foot. So there is no protection on the front of the toe, behind the heel, or on your inner arch. It was perfect for what I used them for (walking on coarse coral sand, walking on a rocky beach front, bouncing off the bottom while snorkeling, etc.). We were in Akumal, Mexico and portions of the ocean bottom just off the beach are rock or coral, and these protected my feet well. They are very light well, but even so, they wore very well for a week of daily use. Be aware though that if you are walking more aggressively in a situation with larger rocks or obstacles, these may not offer enough protection.
