“Bought for my 12 year old grandson. Love the large opening and adjustable velcro closure. So easy to get on, especially with wet and/or sandy feet. Wish I had bought a pair for myself. Actually, I think I'll order a pair now!”
“Great shoe, nice protection on bottom and they air out nicely. The “laces” that come with them are just three elastic straps. This is comfortable, but was worried about the shoes coming off in mud since you can’t cinch them down right. I cut mine out and added paracord laces. Was an easy change to make.”
“These shoes --manufactured in Fujian, China (model KSS-8859, mesh water shoes with three false laces and a trimmed topline border), sold under various brand names in Amazon and other markets by reselling exporters-- are made of synthetic materials (PU, EVA, MD). They are very light, inexpensive, and cheaply made.The shoes I got were badly assembled, with protruding rough seams on the inner surface, which after a short time of testing caused a skin irritation of the top of the foot: [ 1 ] the hanging inner seam of the shoe's tongue where it joins the upper (Fig. A, rectangle), and [ 2 ] the edge of the label stitched midway the tongue's inner face, an edge which bends inwards towards the skin (Fig. B, rectangle). In addition, the tongue often slides to one side. This exposes the chafing ends of the elastic false laces and the protruding bottom of some lace-hole grommets, which then replace the annoying edge of the label's stitch (now slid to one side) in irritating the top-most part of the foot.I did not get to try them while kayaking, but the elastic laces and sole are not appropriate for sucking river mud or banks with loose pebbles. I ignore what proportion of these shoes have the same annoying features, but, given the non-trivial number of equivalent customer complaints, this is not the case of an occasional faulty pair. I was unwilling to spend time and discomfort in trying to break the shoes, so I returned them.”
“The shoes passed the challenge of the 27 puddles of the Dominican Republic. (Rocky terrain, high jumps) Without breaking or losing its shape. They are super lightweight and comfortable.”
