ALEADERMen's Quick Drying Aqua Water Shoes

I wear a Men's size 12 US in medium width (the standard). These shoes are great. Very sturdy and comfortable. I am in or around the water almost everyday. I've worn them walking on a mud bottom, sand bottom, stony bottom and in pools. I've even worn them out (as they look very much like regular shoes) if I just got out of the water or will be going in the water.These are my second pair. Let's make it clear why I bought a second pair. The kid (12) couldn't find his water shoes one day and he wears a 9. I told him to wear mine to go out in the water. Needless to say, he got one stuck in the mud and couldn't find it. So I liked them well enough to buy the EXACT same size, brand, and model.Pros: Great fit, great water drainage, comfortableCons: (Not really a con, just be aware) Sometimes rocks, acorns, etc. will get caught in the holes in the sole. No big deal, just informing so you don't walk in the house with them and scratch your tile floor or antyhing like that.Second (Not the company's fault. Just a fact of life.) If you walk around with these in the sand or use them at the beach, you WILL get sand in them. There is an insole in them for comfort so you're not walking around on the large holes in the sole. Because of this it is harder for the sand to get out with the insole in them. Even if you take the insole out (I wouldn't) the fine mesh covering the large sole holes wouldn't allow the sand to just "flow" out.I personally haven't found a pair of water shoes that does any better with sand, and as I stated, I liked these so much I bought a second pair without hesitation after the kid lost one of mine.

I took these to Hawaii for a water tubing adventure, and they performed great! They stayed down in the water, and they were very comfortable to walk on rocky surfaces with. They had decent traction on flat surfaces and kept my feet cool. sand washed out fairly easily after walking on the beach. Great shoes great price.

Pros: I normally wear 11.5 for shoes, and based on another reviewers opinion I got the 11. It was a great fit. I was worried about how loose they might be, but they were comfortably tight. The arch support was great, and no seams on the tongue that would rub on the top of my foot, (I had this problem with other water shoes). I did use them while snorkeling in areas with a lot of rocks, and I never got the feeling they would fall off.Cons: The insole is a mesh material (As for the quick drying in the name). I had to do a lot of walking from parking lots, to places I was going to swim. On the longer walks this started to feel uncomfortable. Not painful, but made me wish I wore my shoes, and put these on when I got there. Which is my reason for taking 1 star away. I full expected this based on other reviews, but sand does make its way into the shoe though the mesh, and even gets stuck in the mesh. It wasn't noticeable when you are in the water, so I just had to wash my feet and shoes at the shower when I was done and the sand came right out.I would purchase these again. They did everything I expected of them. Nice looking, Quick dry, and comfortable while at the beach and for short distance walks.

very comfortable, good fit

Great look, great feel.

Good balance of strength, support and light weight for a water, boating or mild walking shoe.

Make no bones - this is a cheap shoe.The upper is nicely done and fits pretty well. The mesh fabric is light and breathable, and should be comfortable in warm weather. It is glued to a shaped and cut piece of thick foam, reminiscent of a swimmer's kick board.Overall, the shoe fits well, but it is also a bit snug in the toe box. As such, although you can walk in them, this is not an all day shoe. Even with light socks, they are tiring after long periods and also a bit painful near the big toe. (As the description reads - a water shoe while in the boat).I expect to keep them because I have not found another comfortable, enclosed, lightweight mesh shoe. For $30, will see how they hold up for intended occasional use.

I bought these water shoes to be my "at home" shoes/slippers, and they are great for this purpose. They are light, supportive enough, and comfortable with or without socks. All of the holes throughout the shoes that allow water to drain also mean your feet never get too warm or sweaty. I have an older pair that I have used in the water, and as you might expect, they also work well for their intended purpose. All in all, a versatile shoe at a nice price.
