Racqua Water Shoes Beach Shoes Swim Aqua Sea Pool Barefoot Shoes for Women Men

First I’ll cover the sizing issues. Thankfully I’d read reviews which mentioned this, so I was extra careful on ordering, however, it’s not clear until you add the shoes to your basket. The drop down box to pick your size in the UK only has UK sizes on it, which you would assume to be what you would receive, but it’s sadly wrong. Once you’ve added the shoes to your basket, the product title in the basket will change to include the UK and Euro sizing. Order based on your Euro size. I’m a UK7 and they have the Euro equivalent incorrectly down as a 39. You need to order a 7.5 to get a Euro 40, which is what a 7 should be (don’t get me started on shops who convert a 7 to a 41!). Very frustrating and has probably resulted in many people having to send shoes back. To be fair, I haven’t size checked the other sizes, but seeing as there are other reviews mentioning this, I think it’s safe to assume that potentially all sizes are off. So, the shoes - I think they’re great. They were amazingly comfortable when I first put them on and stayed that way. No blisters. The material is so soft, but the soles are nice and sturdy. I bought them to use on holiday in Spain. They were great for wearing around and in pools. I used them outdoors at a splash pad, a shallow pool (about 30 cms) and normal deeper swimming pools. They were great to walk around in on hot poolside floors and then go straight in to the pool. Perfect if you’re looking after children and constantly following them in and out. I didn’t feel hindered wading in water, or floating about in the deeper pools. There are tiny drainage holes in the soles, which work very well. I didn’t properly swim in them, but I think they’d be fine. The grip was great, which was useful scurrying after children. I didn’t use them in the sea, apart from the waters edge, but they did get tested out on some rocks and again, the grip was good. They’ve only had one week’s use so far and they’ve come back in good condition. No stains or rips etc and I’ve got the white ones. They’re maybe not as bright as they first started out, but they look fine. I’m really looking forward to using them again. Will be interesting to see how long they last.

Fantastic shoes, comfy, well made,have purchased a few pairs and they wash well too. Value for money to

Good fit and stay on while swimming in the sea. Sturdy sole for walking over pebbles etc. One lace snapped after a couple of uses but can still use them. Good for the price.

Used these black Racqua swim shoes in my Aquarobics class this morning. They fit well and easy to get on. I’m a size 5 so bought 5.5. I’m pleased as size 5 would have been too snug. They’re lightweight & non slip in the pool. I like the drain holes so easy to dry after use. These were recommended and pleased I bought them. A good buy

Do the job for an occasion but wouldn't recommend for long time use. Not very comfortable. Doesn't really support your feet in water.

I bought these because my existing beach shoes were badly designed and kept falling off in the water when wading in to the beach from our boat. If we ever get our summer back and I get a chance to use these, the design looks great and I am sure they will be comfortable and stay on my feet. Update: Well the summer has returned, if only for a bit, so I recently had the opportunity to use these for wading into the shore from my boat and going for a short walk. I am really pleased with them, they stayed on well whilst walking through the water, giving good protection in rocky areas and on dry land when I walked up a rough path away from the beach. So if you are looking for beach shoes, these are the ones I would recommend.

Going on the reviews I went a half size up and the shoes fitted perfectly. There’s also a sliding elastic to tighten them to get a great fit. I bought these for cold water swimming and successfully used them this weekend. We were walking in a reservoir of big bulky rocks and these shoes were hard soled enough that you couldn’t feel them. There is some grip but I’d be careful as I did slip a little a couple of times so not super grippy. The sole did slide out as I took them off but this was easily slid back in. They dried out really quickly and are ready for the next time. Super easy, versatile product that it seems will withstand multiple uses.

Great shoes Comfy to walk in Missed a star cos the inner sole comes out every time I take them off
