Surprising really good
I bought these for my trip to Costa Rica. My and my wife wore them to hike the La Leona waterfall and these shoes did amazing. I was very surprised with how comfortable they were walking over the tough rocky terrain and how much grip I had walking over the slick rocks. I would suggest these water shoes to anyone looking for a pair.

Stayed on my feet for my 5K Tough Mudder run
I ordered these at the last minute, hoping I got the right size and they fit great. I usually wear an 8 but thought giving myself a little room for any swelling might be good. I don't know if that's a thing on OCRs? I've never done one before. Or any kind of run tbh.They stayed on my feet, did have to tighten the laces a couple times, but overall performance was great for the price. No blisters either.They are rather "fragrant" with a cheap chemical smell but slogging through a bunch of mud will take care of that right quick.They drained well and only had a couple small rocks get trapped in them once. Very happy with them!

Sizing runs normal.
Nice water shoe. Could use a fine mesh under the coarse mesh to keep sand out better. Buy you normal shoe size! These DO NOT run big. Had to buy a bigger/normal size due to some here saying they run big, they do not. Love the soles, not so flimsy you feel every pebble, great traction.

held up fine in Aruba
Bought them to wear while touring the rougher side of Aruba. They fit well and held up fine. Worth the money. Not garbage.

Looks great
Well…. These water shoes are durable, works great with outdoors, has a good grip on the soles, able to dry faster than other water shoes. They are comfortable up until a certain point. I bought a pair for me & my girlfriend to wear in Jamaica and after wearing them for a while, our feet began to have blisters. We had to wear bandaids & sometimes socks for extra cushion. I’ve seen reviews of people complaining of the same issue, but figured I’d try them anyway. Try them on for a while before putting them on and going about your day. I’m leaving three stars because our feet were blistered.

Battle tested!
Excellent product! When I first got them they felt a bit tight on the sides but they loosened after a few wears. Since getting them, I’ve worn them several times; 2 times to a Waterpark playing with 2 very energetic boys, and everyday for several hours on a 10 day beach vacation and the material still looks great. I’ve now had them for several months. The insoles do come out which I think is great for quicker drying. I highly recommend!

Runs a bit large compared to running shoes.
Ordered these for a trip to Costa Rica. They worked out great for me and my wife, with whitewater rafting, canyoning, repelling down a waterfall, etc. Decent for light hiking, would not recommend for serious hiking or anything over 2 miles. The sole is pretty grippy in mud and on rocks without being too soft. The sole is still quite flexible as well, we walked down rivers and over rocks and skree comfortably.I wear a 10.5 in Hoka and Asics sneakers, i had to run the first pair (10.5) and order size (9.5) for a secure fit. Same with my wife, 1 size down from her running shoes.My 16 year old son wears the same size shoe as me, but with his pair, we could never get them tight enough for a secure fit. The length was right, but he has skinnier feet.These are great for normal width feet. Not good for wide feet or skinny feet.Overall almost exactly what i was looking for.

Comfort
Went on a 3 day canoe trip and these were comfortable and awesome on land, in water and in the canoe.

Great for slippery pool
After knee surgery not strong on my feet. These grip well, I’m really happy with them. They are a little wide but they stay on my feet. You must get the black shoe that’s red on the back and yellow arrow on the sole- this is the version that has the grippy soles. Other colours/styles may not. So far so good for me with my aqua therapy sessions!

Super comfortable but..
I bought these last summer (2020) and stored them until this summer (2021).On first use one shoe fell apart and worse - it was on day one of a week-long canoe trip. These were only my dry campsite shoes, not the ones I used for harder-core portage and related activities. Glad we had emergency crazy glue. Yes they're cool lookingUPDATE (8/26/21): in refunding my puchase price with no arguments whatsoever. I score the company very high on service and styling. It just needs to get quality control in-line which is ultimately why I rated the SHOES so low.UPDATE (10/12/23): I'm now on my fourth pair of these shoes so I do like them. My foot is very wide and they fit beautifully. Here are two cautions: First, tighten them up! One reason I'm on my fourth pair is that I didn't do so on a canoe trip and each of two times we washed out a shoe slipped off. Fortunately not the same foot so I now own a "pair" of one blue and one grey. TIGHTEN THEM UP IF YOU'RE IN RUGGED CONDITIONS. The second item is far more important: The sole, while very grippy, wears out super fast. I barely made it through a 10-day canoe trip with portages and my choice was to toss them out or fix with silicone and retire them to less demanding use.So, in short, over several years and several pair: . They're comfy for wide feet, very light, stylish, grip very well and drain well. While it appears the overall shoe is now better built, the sole won't last under tough conditions. I will keep buying them, knowing they'll wear out so I'll have to keep buying them. And yes: TIGHTEN THEM UP TO KEEP THEM ON IN DICEY SITUATIONS.
