Body Glove Men's 3T Barefoot Cinch Water Shoe

Read a few reviews and decided to go down a size, usually I wear a wide 10.5 to 11. But the size 10 fit very well on me, they even have some extra wiggle room still. The first day I received them I wore them around the house, and within an hour or two they started to conform to my feet. But the reason I got them was for a week long vacation on the Northern California coast. Lots of trail hiking over rocks, mud, sand and through redwood forests, up and down cliffs. I really put these things to the test. They gripped everything like regular shoes would, maybe even better because of the flexibility. Most rocks and sticks can barely be felt, sand can't get through the bottom holes but will come in from the top. My favorite part was being able to feel so much though them, you can still feel enough to sense the texture of the ground. Temperatures transfer very quickly, so it really feels like you're walking barefoot. My feet never felt constrained​ like they do when I wear shoes, being able to spread my toes where my foot is at it's widest gives you a great sense of balance/stability. I put about 30 hours or so of heavy use into these shoes over 5 days from the ocean and into the forests, even did about 30min of skateboarding. I was very surprised with how well they held up. No obvious wear on the outside or tread, the stitching has all held together so far. There is only one damage I can say happened from use, a piece of the screen in one hole on the inside has slightly separated, probably from rock climbing. I tried to include a picture of this, but it's so small it's​ unnoticeable. But I didn't notice it till I got back home and inspected them. it doesn't poke me, and there is still a second layer to keep stuff out. A small spot of silicone glue should seal it and keep it from spreading. My next idea is to get some wetsuit socks, or something like that. To help keep sand and stuff from coming in the top and to keep my feet warmer. I definitely recommend getting these. I just wear them around all the time now, I may get another pair just to have a backup set.

I’ve always been a fan of Body Glove products, and their Men's Water Shoes are no exception. From the moment I put them on, I knew they were a great fit. The comfort and support they provide are exactly what I was looking for in a pair of water shoes. These shoes fit like a glove—literally. They hug my feet snugly without feeling too tight, giving me confidence that they’ll stay in place whether I’m wading through water, walking on wet rocks, or just lounging by the shore. The design is sleek, and they’re lightweight, making them easy to wear for extended periods without any discomfort. What really stands out to me is how well they work in different environments. The grip on these shoes is fantastic, giving me solid footing on slippery surfaces, which is crucial for safety. They also dry quickly, which is a big plus when transitioning from water to land activities. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with these water shoes. They’ve exceeded my expectations in both fit and function, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of reliable footwear for water activities. Body Glove really nailed it with this one!

So I purchased 2 pairs- one for my daughter and her annoying boyfriend. They went to Hawaii to test this product. Shoe quality is good; color is awesome; fit runs small- I suggest 1 size lower unless you foot is wide. My daughter is size 8.5 for womens running shoes and size 7 for these water shoes fits perfectly. Her annoying boyfriend's shoe size is 9.5 to 10 in running shoes and size 9 of this pair fits him well. Awesome for strolling on rocky shores or just hanging out. He tried swimming with the water shoes on and he said they held on pretty well. He was wiped out in a huge wave while swimming, and thank goodness.... the shoes stayed on. He lived another day to share us this great story about this product. Side note: difficult to remove sand when it gets in the shoe

I'm a 60 year old man who has tender feet... There are some options nowadays but in the past, I went as far as to wear an old pair of tennis shoes while visiting a water park or the river. For this year's water park visits, I decided to try out two pairs of shoes and this was one that I had planned to return after receiving. I just didn't think that the toe fingers felt all that good. But... Then after wearing them around the inside of the house for about 20 minutes or so... I changed my mind. I opted to keep both pairs (used the Amazon Try-Before-You-Buy option) and boy was I glad. I've worn this pair of Body Glove water shoes twice to the water park and stayed for about 6 to 7 hours each time. I'm with my younger granchildren so you know I'm on the go the whole time. They provide exceptional comfort and they didn't rub or annoy any part(s) of my feet all day. They were wet the entire time and yet no blisters. The inside materials did not faid or wear at all. I like them.

I wore these on a cruise 3 times in moderately wet areas and the liners fell apart on the inside. The shoes were a little stiff but that could be due to needing to break them in. They were not as comfortable or as mobile as I would have expected them to be.

These were great. My husband doesnt like swim shoes but these fit well and we comfortable for the water park.

Didn't realize it had metal screen in the soles until after walking through the creek, and was cleaning them out. Pretty neat! It's like being barefoot without actually being barefoot, so keep that in mind if you want to use these for hiking- your feet WILL get dirty
