text: Nice water shoes, true to size, no comfort issues. The straps help them stay in place and are truly convenient for someone with narrow feet like me. The sole is sturdy and slip resistant. I used the shoes at the beach, to go in and out of the sea and at times they felt a bit heavy (when trying to get out of the water), but still manageable. To wash the sand away from the inside of the shoe it did require a concentrated effort, but I imagine that is the case with any water shoe. When I left them to dry outside with hot and windy weather and they were perfectly dry the next morning, but one night that it was raining I left them to air inside and they were damp the next morning -- just something to know/consider.
