Review on Aleader Women'S Lightweight And Quick-Drying Aqua Water Shoes by Victoria Perez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable, dries fast / sand seeps in

This is for "Black (Stylish)" (the fine mesh one) in 6.5The good:- I wear a 6.5 in shoes normally, and ordered the same. They fit as expected.- comfortable soles, walked all week in them (on street/ sidewalk in dry and rainy weather, or in the sea). Did not try hiking in them. I have actual hiking boots for that!- dry relatively fast (at least, faster than I expected!) They were only slightly damp after an hour or so of being out of water, and dried out completely overnight.- put them through the washer/ dryer at the end of the week (low spin, low heat) and they came out clean and dry. Should *not* have put the soles in dryer, as it warped them, but they're still usable.The bad:- seams/back of shoe felt rough and in the heat felt like it may blister. I was using a foot balm or opted to wear socks while not in water so I did not blister. May have to get water socks to wear inside them?- when sand gets in them it's a PAIN to rinse out. The soles are easy enough to rinse out, but the shoes themselves always has some said stuck inside and stayed that way until I gave up and ran it through the washing machine.- I wore them for a week straight, getting in and out of the sea. When shoes dry they do smell, though I'm unsure if that's just expected of anything air drying after being drenched in seawater. They smelled a little worse than my swimwear did, but I had rinsed out my swimwear with tap water when I got out of the water, and I had not rinsed out the shoes before letting them dry out.A friend ordered the "Black/Black" (large mesh one) in a 7 or 7.5: they dried faster, smelled less than mine, and held on to less sand. She did not experience the back of the shoe blistering sensation.All in all an good shoe: comfortable, looked good, and I definitely got some mileage out of it and plan to do so in the future. I'm rethinking using them for future beach trips but they will definitely be my kayaking shoes.

Pros
  • Non-slip sole ensures safety during water-based activities
Cons
  • May not provide enough grip on wet surfaces
