ALEADERALEADER

Originally order the same brand / style in 2019. LUV’d the fit and the multi use function of these shoes. Took them to Hawaii on multiple visits and on a couple of Caribbean Cruises and they were worn almost exclusively throughout our many trips. I was able to wear them to the beach in shorts and then out to a slightly dressy dinners. These shoes are GREAT. So GREAT that after my first reorder I ordered a third pair!! I LUV ‘em!

I love these shoes because they feel just like an athletic shoe, thick sole, no harsh rubbing points around the ankle, and the toe bends in a way that doesn't rub blisters on your toes. They have a nice adjustable lacing system that makes the shoe really fit superb. These are a must-have for water parks or other outdoor activities where your feet get wet because the bottom soles drain water quickly and prevent that squishy sloshing foot feeling that other cheap water shoes suffer. I'm so excited that I never have to wear a cheap water shoe again!I highly recommend these shoes for comfort, value, and true fit. They really do feel great and save my feet from being punished in water recreation.

I first bought a pair of these to workout in the rec center pool. They dry overnight. I can throw them in the washing machine. Then I started wearing them at home in the shower, I have neuropathy and rheumatoid arthritis, so poor balance, and these make me feel more secure. Now I have several pair. I wear them around the house as slippers, I've left the house with them on by mistake and worn them shopping and around the yard. They're easy to slip on and off and cool and cushy. I wouldn't try to walk a great distance in them, but for my needs they're inexpensive and durable. I wear a women's 11-11.5. I've gotten a women's 11, it was tight but comfortable. I've also gotten men's 9.5 and 10. 10 was a bit loose, 9.5 perfect.

Love these shoes so much that have two pairs. Lighter than flip-flops, great cushioning, great evaporation (cool in more ways than one!), and priced absolutely right. Downside? they run small so order one full size up (I had to return a pair when I ordered my normal size). Note too that while I wear them as every day shoes they are NOT very good in wet weather --- your socks will get wet walking across wet grass! They are, of course, designed to drain quickly (water shoes, duh...) so they have holes on top and bottom --- great for water wear, not a problem for everyday use in dry weather but not so good when it rains.By the way, they make a number of different models and a wide variety of colors so be careful to order the one you really want.

First, this is an absolutely lousy all purpose water shoe for Texas beaches. It actually does really well in the water under controlled conditions, but you will get lit on fire when hot beach sand permeates up through the vents on the soles. Another issue those vent holes present are being too numerous to provide real protection from potential beach hazards like sea glass, old treble hooks, jagged shells, jellyfish, etc.If you drive to the beach and can park close enough to wet sand, plan little activity (I.E. sunbathing only), then no worries. Same thing with the lake or backyard pool. Since I walk back and forth to beach over long stretches of white sand and then play / swim with my family, this shoe is not an option. In fact, I was luckily rescued by my next door neighbor who noticed I was sprinting down the dunes like a cat on a hot tin roof and yelled at me to jump on her golf cart. She then drove back home and I swapped out shoes.The reason I gave this shoe 5-stars and think so highly of it is quality construction, light weight and breathability. After realizing they weren’t going to work as beach shoes, it dawned on my the Aleader shoes have the potential to make them an ideal Texas men’s house slipper.The biggest problem with traditional house slippers here in the south is most of them are lined with material that make your feet constantly sweat, even in the winter. This means they are uncomfortable, then start to stink rather quickly while being non washable. The Aleader is a vented water shoe, which breathes and my feat don’t get uncomfortable. As soon as I get home, I kick off my outdoor shoes and then slip on the Aleader.Some folks like Crocs for inside shoes, but I just don’t like the way they navigate over hidden house hazards like legos or marbles...which will make you start to speak in tongues if you happen to go barefoot over one of these type of toys. The Aleader has no issues.The Aleader is actually as comfortable as going barefoot, does not mar floors, can handle wet mopping, chemicals cleaners and appears extremely durable. In fact, I like them so much that I’ve picked up extra pairs for each of our homes.
