Review on Speedo Women's Fathom AQ Athletic Water Shoe: Superior Performance and Style by Reginald Hamilton

I ordered these for kayaking after the summer came back so haven't used them yet. I like that they have a more barefoot feel and also offer a bit more arch support than my other similarly designed water shoes. I have read the sizing comments relating to my body glove (size 8) and speedo water shoes (size 9). and ordered a size 9 first (in most shoes I have a fixed size 8.5, high arch with a high stiff instep). I found the 9 to feel a bit short, nice and snug. It also felt too tight at the top of my toes so I reverted to a size 9.5. this is a bit longer than I expected (it still fits, although a bit looser than I expected). If you are between sizes, depending on your willingness to return, I would suggest ordering at least a half size up and a full size up and see what is more comfortable. Since feet tend to swell in summer, I expect the fit will be slightly different when I finally put my shoes on. Overall I think they are great for my purpose, they support my foot but give me a good boardfeel.
