“I love these versatile water shoes! I wore them while hiking on vacation and waded through 3 feet of water and slippery rocks with no problem. I say this as a disabled person with gait and balance issues, so having comfortable footwear with good traction is really important to me.”
“Planning on using it on a Jamaican vacation. Some excursions have a closed shoe requirement & these are lightweight, stylish, and can get wet. Should be perfect!”
“I did a 23 mile hike in a Southern Utah slot canyon with these. I needed shoes that would allow me to walk up a running creek bed with lots of sand. So I bought these. They worked well except for one problem, they have holes in the bottom designed for the water to run in and out but they have a layer of cloth above that. This allows the sand to come in and get trapped under the pad. The shoes become extremely bulky and uncomfortable with sand trapped in them. I had to cut the cloth pad so I could continually wash the trapped sand out. In hindsight, I would just use a very simple rubber shoe (I have used these in the past) with no cloth layers. These protect your feet but sediment can wash in and out as you walk (both good and bad). As a plus, I was able to do some fairly technical rock climbing while wearing these. The quality is such that they would last for several long good hikes, but that is it. I would consider these more or less a disposable shoe that are not good for any long sandy exposure use.”
