text: Nice for what they are: water shoes. I sometimes will wear them out when being casually dressed and not wanting to wear socks.  I hate most other sandals, but not these. The shoestrings do help keep them snug, unlike slip-on water shoes. If you sometimes can wear a shoe brand a half size smaller than you usually wear, then do so with this shoe also.  For long walks, I'd probably wear a different shoe.  But for typical walks or where your feet may get wet, these are great. I've gotten several compliments about them.
