I bought these prior to a recent holiday based on strong reviews but didn't really like much about them. Short and sweet. The soles are very slippery on any tile surface. Once wet, always wet. The legs were always wet and looked blackish. laid in the sun and the upper took forever to dry and the inner foot pad never dried out. When I take my foot off, the foot pad always pops out. There is simply nothing wrong with this "water shoe". I left them in the trash in the hotel room.
