I love the shoes. However, I wish they came in half sizes.

They are good. Heavier than I expected but very safe on slick tile. Easy to put on but a bit hard to get off.

It was definitely trial and error to find the right fit for these shoes. As others have mentioned, they run very large. I'm a size 8.5 and went down two sizes to 6, but that was slightly too tight. Sent them back and ordered a size 7, and that fit perfectly for my slender feet. Went with blue over peach. Super cute!! I wouldn't recommended them for wide feet though.

I do love these, but the sizing is large. I always purchase a size 7 and yet these are larger than expected. I kep them, but may return for a 6. I just hope a 6 isn't too small. Other than that the style is great.

Loved the water strider, but not offered in 1/2 sizes or wide. I am a 7 1/2 wide. Their size 8 was much too big.

These may work for someone with a wider foot. Didn't work for me because they're not at all adjustable. Kept a pair of Ryka water shoes instead. Very comfortable and easy to adjust.
I'd also recommend:
Columbia, New Balance, Ryka

Returned. I bought these for sailboat racing, but they run quite large and the fit is weird. I'm usually a 9-9.5, so I bought the 9.The toe box is spacious, probably too much. The shoes hug nice around the heel, so there isn't much slippage, but if I'm up running lines and hustling to trim sheets, I feel like the heels will slip out. They stayed on well, but they also made a weird squish squish sound when I walked around the house with them. Probably fine for water sports and leisure when you maybe don't want a snug fit, but not for sailboat racing.

I am a true 7.5 and based on the reviews, sized down to a 7. It's still huge! I'm worried a 6 would be too small. They are cute but not going to work for me.

These shoes run big! I read the reviews and ordered down a size. I usually wear an 8 in sneakers/running shoes. I ordered an 8 and a 7. Both were still really big. I’ve ordered a 6. Hopefully once I figure out if they fit I can update if they are comfortable. Really want a good water show for summer.

Too wide and ultimately looked funny on my feet. I felt like a wet foot would just slip out.

I wear a 7.5M so I ordered size 6 based on other reviews, and they fit perfectly, so my advice is to order 1 to 2 sizes down. They're very stiff and they rubbed against my foot next to my big toe, so I had to return them. They have a little cushion pad under the heel, which is nice.

Original size way too large. Smaller size better but still rubbed and caused blisters.

Strange sizingthe correct length for me was very tight across the top of my foot (and I have a narrow foot). More bothersome, though, was that there's no drainage for water from the bottom of the shoe. So when it gets really wet, there's a little puddle of water sloshing around the bottom of your foot and toes. The only way to completely drain the water out is to take the shoes off and turn them upside down. That didn't seem very practical to me for a water shoe.

They are very hard, and rub against your bare skin causing blisters. Maybe good for kayaking but certainly not a long walk on the beach.

Half sizes not available so ordered an 8 (usually wear 7.5). Had to return as they were way way way to big. Would have exchanged for 7 but Customer Service unable to guarantee delivery 2 weeks before my travel. Seemed like that would have been very comfortable but not even sure size 7 would have worked.

Sorry but they are very uncomfortable and my feet hurt after walking with them in and out of the waterthey look pretty though If I had not used them I would return them and exchange them for another style of shoe. Sperry is a good brand.

I wear a size 7, but ordered a size 6 based on the reviews. They are still too big and wide. My heal slips. There is a 1/2" gap between my heal and the back of the shoe. I'm afraid a size 5 would be too small, so I'm not going to exchange them. One shoe rubs where it meets the top of my foot. The plastic on that area of the shoe is rigid. Hoping that will go away after wearing them longer out in the sun. I like the color that I ordered and for a beach/ boating shoe, they are another choice rather than flip flops or water sandals.

These did not fit. 7 was a little short & way too narrow. 8 was too long but the width was fine. These need to come in half sizes. I wanted to love these, but sadly they just arent a good fit for me.
