Customer Reviews The North Face Skagit Water Shoe

Nice and sturdy water shoes! Only issue is the toes are a little narrow and caused a blister with extended use.

Casual wear and for the beach

Great shoe. It's super lightweight on your feet and keeps you dry from light rain. I have wide feet, but the flexibility of this shoe is so good, it doesn't matter.

Used when going hiking and stepping in water. Dry very quickly. Better for tropical environment, not meant for cold places.

Good shoes for areas with water could be more comfortable for no sock wearing.

Pros: very comfortable, aesthetically pleasing -- doesn't even look like a water shoe. I purchased it for a recent trip and used it as hiking shoes or walk around city shoes, then water shoes later in the day. Works perfect for this versatility. Feels durable and expect this to last a long time. Cons: the grip on the bottom could've been better constructed. It's surprisingly good on rocks with algae in water but when walking around, wet metal and even traction for steep hiking gives me pause. That said, it worked but I think this is the only area needing improvement.

purchased these for kayaking/rafting. Have only used once so far and they are almost perfect. Only quip is the tread is not as aggressive as I would like. They were fine on river rocks/ sand and dry dirt. In the muddy sections they got a little slippery.

I liked these shoes alot and really wish they had half sizes. I am 9 1/2 and ordered a 9 just because I would not be wearing socks. I really liked the shoe but the toebox was very tight and just getting the shoe on was a bit difficult due to no stretch. I want to reorder this shoe but am afraid a 10 may be to big. Otherwise this is a great looking and feeling water shoe. I still may get one if ai can try one on in the stores.

I bought these shoes for my vacation to a remote Caribbean island and they were extremely useful. The island has some extremely rocky areas near the sea, so these shoes came in handy when jumping into the water.

Every time I remove the shoes, the soles come out too. That's a bit annoying and frustrating. Overall they are good n comfortable

They feel good on your feet, you feel fresh and a lot of air coming in from everywhere. What I didn't like is the material it seems like won't last long and even they supposed to dry fast after water that's not entirely true.

Great shoes... but I'm absolutely a regular size 13 (including other North Face shoes) and my feet swim in these. This (obviously) leads to unsure footing in wet environments, rendering them nearly useless without neoprene socks.

Got them on sale. I'd be really upset if I paid full price. Insoles bunched up first time wearing them.

Comfortable, good sole (stiff, more light like hiking shoe than typical soft sole on most water shoe). But heel area too soft and flexible, come off too easily in mud, current, etc., and the sizing is at least a full size off--I ordered men's size 8, it's more like size 9, too loose unless I wear thick sock..

I loved the style and the fit. The problem is, there is something on the top-inside of the shoe that pokes my feet. If I had socks on, then it probably wouldn't be problem, but why would you wear socks with boat shoes.

I've purchased the Men's Skagit shoes in the past, in different colors, but these seem to be a little more 'loose' around my foot. Not to where they fall off, but, it is a little uncomfortable at times.

Purchased to replace TNF HedgeFrogs for use whitewater rafting and kayaking. + Shoes fit pretty well, maybe a little more narrow than I would like for walking but nice for being in the raft - size 13 fit pretty standard. + The elastic drawstring cinched well but I needed to tuck the tail into the bottom of the laces. No big deal pretty standard for that type of lace up. + Good looking design and material is comfortable. - The insole of the shoe is not secured to the sole. When it got wet it started to slip and float in the shoe. - After the insole got wet, when I walk the insole now slips around the shoe and out the heal (see picture). Probably will keep but am going to glue the insole in to the shoe, unless TNF tells me the insole shouldn't be doing that. If thats the case I will update the review.

These shoes are lightweight and good for travel.

I really love these shoes, but... 1.5 months to go and this is what I have on both sides of the left shoe. Dear Northface, please sell these side patches separately, so I will be able fix the shoe and wear it at lest for one full season!

Comfortable to walk once I got them on. Need more stretch to get my feet in them, they ripped prior to getting in water, no notable event caused it.

I bought these to keep the rocks out of my shoes but they don't. I'm really upset with all the new gear from North Face. The last jacket I bought was sent with burn holes in it and they never replaced it. Now they sent me shoes that have rough cuts and stitching inside that rub my feet raw. I threw these away after 2 days of use and switched back to my Nike shower slides.

Never purchase from north face on line it takes up to 3 to 5 weeks for a refund after a return. It totally disrespects the customer.

I returned because it wasn't what I wanted

Shoes were hard to get on. For me, it was a total wrestling match. I returned them.
