Purchased to use at Kalahari which has an indoor and outdoor water area. There's lots of walking. We went for the 3rd time and previously I used flip flops which didn't work well bc i would take them off due to them being slippery when wet. I would end up not using them, leaving them and getting scrapes and cuts on the bottom of my toes and feet from the cement ground.These aqua shoes were a great solution to avoid my feet hurting. They were a perfect fit. I used the guide to measure my foot, which indicated i was in between sizes. I should have gotten the larger size but decided to go for the 6.5 to 7.5 as that's my normal size in various shoes anyway. To give you an idea, I wear a size 7 in open toed shoes, 7.5 in sneakers. The fit was perfect. not too large or small. The soles didn't move and I was able to wear them through all sorts of activities. I decided to remove them in 1 hot tub. The right shoe did get some tears at the toe area and pilling probably from the lazy river and pushing with my feet along but for the price I wasn't too mad bc I can still use them again in the future as they're still in tact.The bottom soles are rubber and I experienced no slipping. They were very comfortable.I left the shoes overnight... about 12 hours to dry and they were still damp when I wore them again. I air dried them when I got home and can now store them for another use.The major con I had was the lettering on the back of the shoe. I'm not into logos or designs and I hated how tacky it looked but decided the function outweighed the fashion aspects. I did happen to notice a man wearing the identical pair I was wearing at the park. It was a little embarrassing but funny at the same time. I think they look better on men. I didn't particularly like the black striped pattern for myself but I was in a hurry to have them for my trip and didn't want to order anything extravagant and crazy design-wise so I can match them with any swimsuit.
