Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Following the advice of previous reviewers, I ordered a size larger. I normally wear a 6 1/2 extra wide shoe. I purchased a 7 M shoe. The shoelaces are held together by a two-holed toggle that allows you to draw them up snug without any bow-ties. Then simply tuck the extra shoe lace ends under the laced portion at the shoe tongue, and there is a secure fit. So far, I have worn the shoes for my hi-intensity water aerobics class. I love the fact that each shoe has built in "drainage holes" in its sole. There apparently is a gap between the layers of the sole, because when you step onto the bottom of the pool, air bubbles are released from the soles of the shoes. I feel like I am bouncing on air cushions rather than a concrete pool bottom. I am quite pleased that the shoe design allowed me to widen the width of the shoe across the bridge of my foot. Thank you, RYKA, for such a comfortable shoe!
