Gurkees Rope Sandals are hand-crafted with soft polypropylene rope, salt-water-resistant, chlorine-resistant, machine-washable, and flexible, with an adjustable back strap. Go almost anywhere in these groovin' sandals! Classy enough to wear with any attire. They're VERY groovy, baby.. Order yours based on your normal shoe size. A size 8 is [7-1/2 to 8], a 9 is [8-1/2 to 9], etc. For instance, if you wear an 8 1/2, you would order a size 9 [covers 8-1/2 to 9]. PLEASE NOTE: When buying Neptunes, if you wear, say, size 10, order a size 10. However, if you wear a 10 1/4 or 10 1/2, order the next size up, as the Neptunes run a bit tight. Also, since there is one size difference from Womens to Mens, if she wears size 11, a Mens size 10 is the same. Say for instance you want the Neptune style in Mens Red or Purple, you would order a size up in Womens. Example: A Womens size 10 is the same as a Mens size 9; a Mens size 8 is the same as a Womens size 9, etc. Please note that we sometimes will send a substitution like this if we happen to be out of stock of a particular gender size. Gurkees Rope Sandals are perfect to wear shopping.. sailing.. strolling on the beach.. DOING it! It's like going barefoot - but better!

Finally, a Good Fit.
I just bought another pair of these rope sandals, which I wear for slippers, in the warmer weather. The previous pairs I had, were size 12, because I was unaware that they came larger. Well, besides being just a tad short for me, they were too wide as well, being made for "average" men's feet, which are D width. My feet are very narrow. I wear a size 13B, in shoes, as that's the narrowest I can find. My feet are actually A width, but that pretty much means custom shoes, and I really can't afford that. At any rate, these new sandals I just got, are not only size 13, but are actually narrow enough that they fit me very well, and I couldn't be happier. They will stretch out some with wear, but shrink up again, when I wash & dry them. I can't say that everyone will get the narrow version, but I'm certainly happy that I did.

Great Sandals But Be Sure To Avoid Puddles/Potential Urine/anything wet
Truly, I Love the look and feel of these sandals. They are not coarse or scratchy nor do they hurt your ankles or feet. Better than expected and definitely comfortable. The one downside is the second they get wet, the material absorbs what seems like 100% of the moisture around you and your feet will essentially get soaked within just a few seconds. This isn't so bad with water on a hot day or something like that but if you're walking around a music festival, hear the call of nature, and visit the port-a-potty then you can imagine why super absorbent sandals are not a super great idea and also why the potential for these being the filthiest sandals you own is a very real possibility. They also take a very long time to dry through conventional means. Either way I image the fix is as simple as adding some clear hydrophobic spray to the sandals and the issue should get resolved but seriously keep these out of the "wet" if you enjoy having dry feet. Even with that issue I still love these sandals and would buy them again. Edit After Most Recent Usage: These are also not good to use near a camp fire or open flame at all. A few pops from my fire almost set my feet on fire and essentially melted huge portions of this shoe

Love the black and tans!
Love the look of the mixed black and tan! I usually wear a size 11 1/2 so I bought 12.They are long enough but are somewhat tight. At first they feel binding but after a while they were great! Maybe the rum helped!! I tried an experiment and so far it is working. I sprayed the bottoms with several coats of a spray rubberized coating of a flex seal product. It reduced the slipperyness and gave them some added water protection. So far so good!!

A tad snug at first, but loosen up after wearing a while. They are very light and if they fit you correctly you may forget you have them on. My only complaint is that they really stink after getting wet. I had to spray Febreze on them. I assume it is the material they are made of or mold/mildew that develops between the fibers.

nice shoes
My wife really loves these shoes. They are very comfortable and lightweight. She had a slight problem with one of the shoes where one of therope portions became unraveled. She contacted the vendor and without any issues or hesitation they sent her a new pair and she still is loving the shoes. As a mater-of-fact she bought a pair for her god daughter.

The straps are tight!!!
The reviewers that wrote about the straps being tight were not kidding. If I had know, I would have definitely gotten a size up from the Men's size 7. I am hoping the straps will loosen with wear. The purple color is gorgeous, however.

Perfect!
I honestly did not expect the great quality. I ordered thinking they would be imitation but they are the real deal and they fit perfectly. I wear a size 8.5 to 9 in womens and I ordered and 8 in men's. They even arrived 2 days before the date I was given. Can't wait to order different colors.

The slipper doesn't fit this princess....
The particular pair of these I received were at least 2 sizes too small. The length of the shoe is fine, but the braiding was tight & has no give at all. They are cute looking, if only the braiding had a bit of stretch.
