I think these shoes are just ok. You really can't use them without socks because they gave all 4 of my kids blisters around the top opening. We use them with socks as regular sneakers now.

Perfect fit for a baby with wider feet. We love the Native brand too; but they're not wide enough. Easy on/off. Best water shoes!!! We love these so much! Our 2nd pair!

Kiddo was complaining about the bumps inside the tongue before we even got it on all the way. The way the elastic is attached to the shoe makes a large lump that hits right on top of the foot. Had to return them. They seem otherwise well made and very cute.

Painful seams! If you run your finger inside the shoe there is literally a hard jagged plastic seam that gives horrible blisters. Dont recommend

These are a must-have for my son. This is the second pair that we've purchased. My son wears them like tennis shoes with socks. The one problem is that the flexible fabric tab in the back combined with the stiff material of the shoe makes them difficult to get on. It's a little challenging for me to get them on for him and there's no way my 3-year-old could could get these on by himself. Still, we've found them to be durable and keep coming back to them because they're so easy to clean.

This is our third year of buying Phibians for summertime and they are fabulous. This pair are exactly as seen in the photo. Definitely recommend for active kids.

Almost doesn’t look like a water type shoe. My son can play moderate sports in these. Not his go to shoe for soccer but can play in the yard or the park easily and much better than other alternatives for the summer. Cleans up well too!

These shoes are lightweight and more secure on the feet compared to other water type shoes. We haven't tried them out in the water yet so I'm concerned about blisters since they are more fitted but at worst case they're a comfortable playground shoe!

Great looking water shoe for my 5 year old! I'm not sure yet how comfortable they are yet, but they feel sturdy and look nice.

My son is two years 3months we got him these for the summer. Last year we had Nike Sunday’s that have an enclosed tie we loved them but thought we would try more of a sneaker then Sandler. So far we love them. We got a 7 my son is still in a 6 so they are a little big but not to the point they cause issues walking or anything. He has about a finger with to go. No blisters (so far) we haven’t used socks. My son loves them! I just wish they were a solid color to match everything. But other then that they are great!

I love Phibians for my toddler! They're a great summer shoe -- easy to put on and perfect for water activities. When they get dirty, I throw them into a mesh laundry bag, toss them into the wash machine, and they're good to go.

These are great water shoes for active kids! The shoes dry quickly. They feel like they run a little small around the ankle, with plenty of room in the toes. My son never complained about them, but they seemed to dig in a little when I put them on his feet.

These shoes are PERFECT. Easy to clean, the most durable shoe we’ve had to date, & you can’t beat the price. We’ve worn them into the fall for school also. I’m hoping they never quit making these so we can buy them each spring! No complaints.

My son loves these! They are his go-to shoes for getting dirty outside. I throw them in the washer and they come out brand new. They also stay on well. This is our second pair. Highly recommend!

My 4 year old has a wide foot and I’ve been struggling all summer to find the right summer ok ay shoe for when he’s inside and outside at preschool. I sizes up and these are perfect. They clean esuli, dry easily and he doesn’t complain about the way they fit so they are a win for me! I will likely buy these next summer too.

I bought these stride rite phibian water shoes for my son and he loves them. He loves the way it feels on his feet. He feels very comfortable as he's running around in every scenario. These shoes are very versatile (sandal/sneaker). My son can wear them to run on land, climbing at the playground or having fun in the water. These shoes don't hold the water in and they dry very quickly. And, cleaning the shoes is so easy. I can actually say that I can feel good that my son can do anything that he wants to do with these shoes (get it muddy, get it dirty, etc.) and the shoes will always be easy to clean (either with a garden hose or in the machine). I couldn't have asked for a better shoe!

We have 2 sets of twins, ages 4 and 18 months, and all of them have a pair of these for summer. We love that they’re super-durable and can get wet and dry out all while wearing them. Highly recommended!
