Soft, flexible and comfortable to wear. Snug and fit like a glove!

I wear an 8 1/2 shoe. The 9s fit perfect.

I ordered these for my husband who wears a 14, sometimes a 15. His high arch was a concern but he was able to slip the 14 right on without any problems! He's had some water shoes before and these are just as good if not better. The sole grips well and no slipping when wet!

Good fit. This is my second pair as I've now worn out my first pair. I use them mostly for paddling outrigger canoes in San Francisco Bay.

These are so much better than the Speedo Surfwalker Pro shoes that we originally purchased. These fit much better, allow for a wider foot, and don't take forever to squeeze your foot into. My kids said they feel like barefoot shoes (so you aren't going to go hiking in them!), but we got them for kayaking and river rafting trips and they will be perfect. happy we found these!

Ordered 4 pairs total for our upcoming vacation. They seem like they will stay on well and have what appears to be decent tread for slippery rocks. I could see how wearing these all day would hurt though, there is no arch support at all and I imagine you would feel every stone in your path....however they will save you from Cutting up your feet. For the most part they seem to fit true to size.

Ordered these as a general water shoe (public pool, canoeing, etc.). They are very comfortable; feels like you're barefoot!

I bought these to use on my stand up paddle board. I like to be barefoot but the water is cold right now. I wear an 11M and I found that the size 10...these are men's sizing...is slightly loose but I can completely spread out my toes. These are very thin and flexible with a very good tread. I won't slip around. I will use my neoprene socks for inside flippers. I wouldn't use socks on my SUP because they could be too slick.

I ordered these for my husband for an upcoming trip. He is normally a 10 or 10½ so I ordered the 10, and it is fairly snug. I am going to order the 11 to see if that will work better for him. The styling is great, I think the shoes will work well for their intended purpose.

These are nice, with sewn-in insole, great traction, good coverage for sun protection, easy to get on and off. I'm a woman's 8 1/2 and the size 7 fits perfectly with my big toe touching the end which is okay. They're lightweight due to the lack of thickness of the sole. I have sensitive feet, but I only need to walk across a few lanes of pavement before I'm on the sand so it's not a problem. They're perfect for outrigger canoeing and will probably work well for SUP, which I haven't tried in them yet. I'm pleased with my purchase and with Zappos great service.

These shoes were bought for using on pebble beaches and as a shoe for jet-skiing. They are perfect! There is plenty of traction, they are easy to slip on and off, and are comfortable. Aside from sand particles getting in, the shoe effectively keeps pebbles and rocks out!

Did just what I thought they would! I actually hiked through a bamboo forest in hawaii to various waterfalls and jumped off cliffs without having to change my shoes! The only thing I had to watch out for was stepping on little rocks on the bigger paths. Ouch! Overall a great shoe.

The O'Neill Reef Boot is an excellent athletic shoe for lifting at my local gym. It's a lot cheaper than the shoes I was going to buy, and I get the same (maybe better) freedom of movement and flexibility with this shoe. I imagine they are also adequate wading shoes.

Perfect water shoes! They are comfy and don't get weighed down with water once immersed!

I bought these for my husband. He has a wide foot, so I ordered an 11. They seem to fit fine. I would order up a size.

I bought a pair of the O'Neill Reactor Reef Boots just before leaving on a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. I used them for foot protection while wading and boogie-boarding at various beaches. They did the job well, keeping my feet from being ripped by the lava rocks. The boots are comfortable and look good. The only nit is that the soles are a bit thin. However, that also means they are light-weight. I got a size 11. I normally wear a size 10.5 shoe. The fit was fine, none too big.

I ordered a size 5, which ended up being a EU 36 - so I think these shoes are sized for women. Cute styling. The coal color is a pretty dark pewter/grey with metallic silver O'Neill written on it. I was looking for boots to wear in my fins, but I ordered the wrong size, and I don't think these are as thick as what I want. Would be great beach shoes!

I need water shoes for launching and retrieving my boat. I replaced my old Teva's with these. They are comfortable and appear to be durable.

i ordered my usual size and my toe was up against the front of the shoe. unfortunately, i had to returned it. the next size up was out of stock so i can’t say whether it would fit better.

The sizing is strange. They are angled at the big toe, so you feel your big toe hitting the front. The next size shoes held on my foot on top but were too long.
