I’ve had these shoes for just under three months. I wear them three to four times a week working in a retail landscape nursery. Not only have the soles already worn out, but the "vents" in the soles have little wires that are starting to poke up into my feet! I thought much more highly of North Face before spending almost a hundred dollars on these shoes. I thought they’d be much more durable than this. Would NOT recommend.If they can’t handle gravel, they sure wouldn’t handle a rough trail.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Merrell makes a much tougher shoe.

These are great they are cute and very functional. The have great drainage and dry out quickly. I would suggest anyone looking for a great water shoe buy these. Get a half size smaller though that is for sure.

This shoe fits about a whole size below what one would normally order, normally I wear 9's, but an 8 fits comfortably. Some question to the durability however. I was lacing them up just out of the box and one of the loops holding the laces broke...

North Face Padda -
I purchased this shoe in the gray/pink combo for a trip to the Caribbean. They fit well, with the exception of the tongue digging into the top of my foot due to some of the mesh lining not being sewn in correctly. With a little trimming, the problem was solved, and then they were very comfortable. Seem like they will be a good all purpose shoe for my vacation, soles are sturdy and suitable for everyday wear and they are very breathable. Not sure about water performance yet though.

Pretty good shoe -
This shoe is unsurpassed when it comes to being light weight and having excellent traction. The only down fall is a lack of arch support for those that have any arch in their foot at all. I remedied this issue by taking the insoles out of my old Merrell water shoes and inserting them in this pair. It seems to be doing the job so far. The air flow is pretty good, and the mesh is pretty tight so less debris manages to get in.
These do run large so I recommend getting a half size smaller than you normally would wear. They are also a smidgen wide but not enough to cause any problems.

I was pretty excited to receive the shoes, but a big disappointment on its performance. Pebbles and sand goes inside the shoes. Size is 1/2 bigger. It looks nice though.

COOL SHOE -
I have to correct Zappos. After reading the comments, looks like most of the reviewers said the shoe is "half size larger than marked". I was a little confused since Zappos info said 76% reviewers said "the shoe felt true to size". I decided to go with what most reviewers said and ordered "half size smaller than I usually wear" (I wear size 7.5 and ordered size 7). I was very happy when I got my shoe. It fits nicely whether I wear light socks or not. The shoe has a low profile shape so it makes it look good with jeans or khaki. It's a very light weight and has a good traction, too. I love the color: gray with a yellow stripe! Btw, thanks to all the reviewers here. This is why I love buying shoes from Zappos. Not only do I get great customer service, but I also get a lot of info from other shoppers so I'm able to make good decision and saving me from returning my shoe.

I love how these shoes look, but the tongue is really uncomfortable and digs into my foot. It feels fine with socks, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a water shoe.

Tongue felt awkward -
Were really cute and I wish the tongue didn't dig into the top of my foot. I have a narrow, bony foot so it was uncomfortable without socks on...which is how I would have worn them seeing as how they are meant for going in and out of water. Extremely light weight, good traction.

Love these! I hate most tennis shoes and think they look horrible on me, but these are so cute! I agree with the other review, they do fit a bit big. I'm normally a 6 1/2 and got these in a 6 and they're still a little on the big side. But they are comfy and cute. They were delivered less than 24 hours after ordering too. Love Zappos.

Love these shoes! Bought these for an extremely adventurous honeymoon in Costa Rica. Ten days of rainforest and beach hikes, rappelling down waterfalls, kayaking, white water rafting, climbing volcanic flows - you name it - these shoes got me through it. The fit was great, they were multifunctional, comfortable with or without socks, and just a little big in size for my barefeet, but fine with socks.

Great Water Shoe -
I was very happy with these shoes. They didn't need a break-in period, and I was comfortable wearing them in wet conditions and going straight on to rough terrain hikes. I'd buy them again!

I use these to water walk every other day. The fit is great, plus they are easy to put on and take off. I have other water shoes, but these are the best.

Adorable -
First let me say that Zappos has the fastest shipping service EVER. I ordered these shoes on Saturday and they got here the following Monday. It was incredible. Second off, the shoes are so cute. They have a sort of fish-net material (except cuter) to allow water to flow in and out of the shoe. I got The North Face Women’s Padda in the aqua blue type color to wear around a college campus and am very satisfied. I do recommend if ordering to get a smaller size. I wear an 8, ordered a 7.5 and they are still a little too big. But Thanks Zappos and North Face :) I love them.

A great water shoe. Very comfortable and stylish. The fact that this style is Vegan-friendly is the best part! The shoe did however feel about half a size larger than marked.

I absolutely hate the way these shoes look, but they were pretty comfortable once I got them on. Unfortunately, one of the little loops that the laces go through broke as soon as I tried to tie them. Sending them back.

Awesome canyoneering shoes! We just returned from a ten day hiking and canyoneering adventure. These shoes performed wonderfully...very "sticky," which is a good thing for climbing shoes.

Quite Happy -
This is a good shoe. Does great in wet and dry terrain. I have somewhat of a high arch, so I could've used a little more arch support, but it's not that big of a deal. Also, they do feel slightly larger than normal. Order a half size smaller if you get these.

North Face Women's Padda -
These are super cute and are a great light weight shoe. As the earlier review indicated, they aren't super supportive so they wouldn't be good for long hikes. Unfortunately, I have narrow feet and these were very wide on me. I normally wear an 8.5, but these felt almost a full size too big. Thanks to Zappos easy return process I'm going to return them and try a smaller size hoping that will also help a little with the width.

Great buy for a light-weight shoe -
I love these shoes! They are very light-weight, with a meshy material that can get wet. They’re easy to get on/off and aren't bulky like many tennis shoes. They aren't super supportive so if you're looking for a long-distance walking or running shoe, I wouldn't recommend this one. I get tons of compliments on their look.
