My husband thought he would enjoy wearing them around the house or yard and patio. And it does, but they aren't quite as expected, although they are exactly as described. The shoes are decent, comfortable, the size is right. Designed to be worn barefoot, they are snug fitting and not tight like other neoprene water shoes. They should fit around your legs to keep you wet. They look decent, interesting shoes. We ordered a navy blue which does not have contrast stitching - they are a little lighter than pictured but definitely still navy blue. There are no soles or insoles but my husband says they are very comfortable and he really likes them. He can wear them all summer long as they are kind of a cross between slippers and shoes. Good looking, well made, ideal for boat, beach, home etc.
