I wear a 9.5 US running shoe and the size 9 fits me perfect! Also, I got these to wear with my ScubaPro Jet Sport open heel fins and they work great. Finally, they offer good protection against coral, rocks, and shells. I live on Okinawa, Japan and they work great while approaching deeper water. Just be cautious these shoes won't protect against punctures.

These shoes, which I use for rocky Mediterranean beaches, are of super quality and comfort. They provide an excellent grip, are very rugged and can be worn all day. I wear 10.5 EEE (they don't offer widths) so I ordered the 11 and they were perfect.

The water shoes were what I expected in terms of fit and looks and no surprises. I am very happy with them as a basic water shoe. Was also pleasantly surprised they showed up the day after I ordered them; even though I requested regular delivery. I would order these again and will order other footwear from Zappos.

These shoes are great! They spent hours and days in the beautiful waters of Tahiti and after 10 days, they are like new. The insole did not move like in other shoes we bought before because it is sewed and not glued! The sole is thin but it protected our feet from the coral.

These shoes are so cool! They are durable and a cinch if you're someone like me who switches from the water to the sand frequently. I should mention that I bought these to see if barefoot running (on the beach of course) would be something I would enjoy. In my opinion, these can also double as a great and less expensive alternative to Vibram FiveFingers if you are unsure. Great shoes, will recommend and purchase again!

My son wears a 5 youth but I purchased these in a men’s 6. The 5 felt a bit small to him and he thought especially when they got wet they would be difficult to put on in the smaller size. He wore them fishing walking over coral and in the sand and said they were really comfortable.

Great water shoes, all the family has one pair. (used in Hawa , Tahiti...) No unsticking insole problem even after hours in the water. (The insole is part of the shoes.) Easy to put on and off even for children. Thin soles which protect your feet from stones and coral but however you feel all the roughness of the ground: not appropriate for long walks.

Bought these for my husband and he absolutely loves them! He used them whilst on vacation daily on hot sandy beaches, as well as to climb a waterfall. He went snorkeling in them and even used them on the treadmill! He found them very comfortable! The added bonus was the ease of cleaning. The soles are stitched on so you don't have to fuss with getting the soles in place when putting them on nor do you have to contend with sand collecting underneath the soles! Although the design is not as flashy as others in the same category, I'm nonetheless considering getting one for myself despite being marked for men! Overall a true all rounder and another winner from Zappos! I highly recommend them!

Just right! Great fit for my son, very durable, great quality. We have purchased cheap-o water socks in the past and they haven't lasted a week. These have already been on two hard core vacations and are holding up just fine.

I would have like a little more support. Otherwise these are exactly as represented. They feel a little too much like bare feet when walking on hard surfaces.

Bought these for water therapy for my husband. Easy to put on and wide enough for his feet. Very pliable and comfortable.

Quality for the price. I have high arches and they still felt solid. The sole that also covers the edges works well and overall, it is a comfortable experience all around. As a diabetic, I feel very comfortable wearing these out and about without worry.

An excellent and durable boot. We use multiple sizes for kids and spouses on the shores of Lake Michigan (that sometimes get covered with beach stones). No more hobbling along; with these you can spend time Petoskey stone hunting.
Well made with a rugged bottom, also great for Kayaking and paddle boarding.

Great product for the price, I wish they had half sizes. Ordered both 11 & 10. Decided to go with the 10 (my normal size) because these were tighter around the ankles.

This is a soft, flexible and well constructed water shoe. However, the US sizes run a full size small.

Holding up very well as a vacation shoe. Walk on pavement back and forth from beach to condo. Seal out sand rather well.

Fit was a bit short. I have sensitive toes so I am going to order the next size larger. Other than that, it's quite comfortable for an aqua shoe.

While these are basically dive booties, I brought them for jogging to/from the beach, then long jog on the beach. Other options I have tried allow sand to get resulting in painful sand abrasion. These have prevented most sand and are great going in and out of the surf. Even with a 1/2 mile on pavement each way, they have held up well. Very happy, even if they do wear out after a month or so.

I got these for windsurfing, and they are not good enough for sailing in a dinghy sailboat because in capsize they would slip off the centerboard,, but for windsurfing they are good , better than barefoot because, i do not like to touch the slimy bottom but more boot type are too bulky where these will slip in the foot straps , i like them
