WateLves Womens and Mens Kids Water Shoes Barefoot Quick-Dry Aqua Socks for Beach Swim Surf Yoga Exercise

Got a membership to a local waterpark that is apparently paved with sandpaper, so I went looking for water shoes the next day. These were the best rated that would be available for our next trip so I took the plunge. The pattern is eye-catching and likely to stand out whatever your swim gear looks like, but it does make it easier to find in the water if it happened to slip off. These provided great protection from the rough waterpark flooring and very hot swim deck, and I'll definitely be keeping these around for any trips to the beach/lake/river. My feet were completely pain free after use and I was able to walk around the water park for hours on our second visit with no problems. As an added surprise, I have plantar fascitis and where my feet are usually pretty stiff and sore after being on my feet all day with most shoes, there was no pain after wearing these for a good 4 hours. I have small feet and water shoes are often pretty floppy on me. I have high insteps, so I usually wear a women's 6 in active wear and a 7-7 1/2 in heels. The women's 5-6 here was perfect: probably 1/2" + extra in the toe area for me, but not so awkward I had to do a Goofy wearing diving flippers walk while wearing them underwater. These were snug without being too hard to get on and only got close to coming off a when I was dumb enough to step on my own foot. I can't speak to the long-term durability of these, but they seem pretty solidly what I'd expect from a ~$10 pair of shoes, and I'm expecting they'll last a good season or two which is fine by me. The sole is a slightly cushioned insert inside attached to a thin, patterned rubber sole on the bottom. So, idk, thin enough Toph from Avatar could probably still earthbend in them, but thick enough to provide protection against sand, rough or hot cement, or pebbled ground barring the occasional poky rock. Very happy to be pain free after using these and will be keeping them around for future use.

I bought a pair of these eight years ago and I finally had to get a new pair. They hold up very well in the therapy pool. I feel much safer walking on the wet tiles that are around the pool when I have these on. I highly recommend these. Get them in various colors to match your swimwear!

So I kind of found these shoes completely by accident but couldn’t have been better timing. I was going hiking/swimming at a waterfall and just happened to stumble across these. They are honestly so cool and work so well! I didn’t wear them for the hiking part but I wore them in the water where it was rocky/Sandy, and huge rocks to walk on in the water. They worked perfect! I was a little hesitant at first with how thin they felt but honestly, they were perfect and lightweight so it didn’t add any extra weight to my bag or even space. They kept the fine sand and rocks out of my feet and they’re grippy so they actually made walking on the slippery rocks not as scary. I will say though my sister got the mesh ones and she did have some rocks get into hers, so I would be weary of the mesh ones and try to stick with the solid material. The other reason I didn’t give a 5 star was because my sister also got the same size as me but hers were a bit small and we do wear the same size in every other shoe so that was kind of weird but she did get a different style so maybe that’s why. Lastly, mine did get very dirty after one use, not that it bothered me too much but some people may not like that. I haven’t tried washing them yet so I’m not sure how easily or if at all that will come out. Other than that I would highly recommend!

I absolutely love these sock-like water shoes! They’ve been a total game-changer for my beach trips, time spent at the river, and even pool days. The first thing I noticed is how lightweight and comfortable they are. They fit snugly like a sock, but the material is stretchy and breathable, so my feet never feel restricted or sweaty. The sole is just thick enough to provide protection from sharp rocks and hot sand while still being flexible enough to move naturally. One of my favorite features is how quickly they dry. I’ve had other water shoes that stay soggy for hours, but these are made from a fast-drying material that’s perfect for transitioning from water to land without discomfort. Plus, they’re super easy to slip on and off, which is a big plus when you’re hopping in and out of the water. They also look great! The sleek, minimalist design means I can wear them beyond the water without feeling like I’m in clunky, unattractive footwear. Whether I’m walking on the beach, boating, or just hanging out by the pool, they’re stylish enough to blend in anywhere. Overall, these water shoes combine comfort, functionality, and style perfectly. If you’re looking for something versatile and durable for your water activities, I highly recommend giving these a try. They’ve quickly become a must-have for all my outdoor adventures!

These are wonderful! I own 2 pairs: first pair I bought summer 2021. I use them to wear on the dock and to swim in the lake in the summer. They hold up very well for what I use them for. They stay on my feet very well, even while kicking hard as I swim, but if you’re worried they will slip off, fear not: they float! So, if they do happen to slip off, they are easy to retrieve. I still use this pair every summer since I got them and they’re in great shape. I make sure to remove the insole and rinse them with clean water and set them out to air dry. So far no holes, rips, or signs of wear. I recently took a trip that involved a lot of swimming in a particularly rough-surfaced pool and found myself wishing I had a pair of these with me. The pool is a salt water pool, so it softens my skin up a bit, but the surface of the pool is sandy and gritty. This unfortunately means the parts of my feet that grip and kick off the floor of the pool get torn up easily, to the point of needing bandages. So, I ordered a pair and they came in a couple of days. They felt amazing on my feet as soon as I put them on. Definitely a game changer! I used them in the pool for the rest of the trip and they felt awesome. They protected my feet and for that, they get all 5 stars. They are also very lightweight and lay flat, so they’re great to pack for traveling. A note about their durability: Any little snags or spots of wear I take as a sign that the shoe did its job: it took a hit for my foot. Kind of like a sacrificial anode rod in your water heater that rusts apart for the sake of the system. That being said, there are few if any actual signs of wear so far. Mine have held up awesomely, because they are water shoes and that’s what I use them for. I don’t need them to have arch support; they’re water shoes, not walking/running/hiking shoes. I don’t need them to be steel-toed, they’re not construction shoes. I don’t need them to stand up to rocky, rough terrain, because they’re water shoes. If you think of these as a layer of protection for your feet while you are swimming/moving around the water (beaches, pools, docks) you will not be disappointed. If you are scaling rocky craggy jettys at a rocky beach, maybe get yourself a more substantial water shoe. If you are hiking and you think these would be suitable, maybe get yourself some sense.

Bought these about a week ago. Used them for the first time at a water park. Pros, while everyone was running for shade and not to have their feet burn with the hot concrete I was walking along no problem. The bottom of the soles are awesome didn’t feel any heat. Protected my feet in the water too all though it was a water park. The fit was true to size I ordered a medium and it fit comfortably and no slipping while walking. They looked cute on my feet they were the black colored ones. Usually with the water shoes in the past you sometimes feel like the water kind of stays in the shoe and your walking around with it coming out but these were not that way. Not watered down while walking. A lot of people mention The only Con I have is that the top layer of the she started to come off and it looked like it was a bunch of hair on the bottom of my she at first until I realized nope that is the shoe. For the price okay sure but I can’t wear these shoes aging and it’s only the beginning of summer.

I love these. I use these anytime I go to the beach or on the boat. I get many compliments on them. They work great and have lasted me two years so far!!

Love the way these water socks fit! They are comfortable and true to size!

Love them. Maybe would have done and 8 and not 8.5. But are awesome

Fit was perfect. Comfy. Cute.

Perfect, just the right size (matched my shoe size)

Worked like a charm. Great water socks.

if you buy these, buy a size larger than you normally would, they fit small. otherwise great for the beach and water.
