Review on Exploring Nature's Wonders: Josaywin Lightweight Walking Kayaking Snorkeling Gear by Aaron Clayton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great style, light weight, quick drying and comfortable

I took them in a size 10 just in case, but they fit my 9 foot height. I'm not worried about them being a bit larger for my feet, I love the extra room for comfort and breathability in these types of shoes. Featuring an elasticated drawstring and buckle that slides along the laces for quick tightening when wearing or loosening for quick removal, and elasticated cuffs to allow my feet to slip in and out of these water boots with ease. It's similar to socks but with a stiffer sole. The mesh upper is also a bit stretchy with good ventilation made from water-repellent materials which allows them to air dry very quickly. The reflective strips really stand out and are smart in all the right places which make these water shoes stand out beautifully while providing an extra layer of safety when worn at night or in low light conditions. The extra thick 1 inch outsole provides comfort and helps with shock absorption that doesn't put too much strain on my heels. It is made of soft rubber with 9 holes and a channel for traction and water diversion. Shoes. Slightly non-slip on most surfaces, just be a little careful on really smooth wet or oily surfaces. As for the insoles, they're fine without much arch support, so I'll probably replace them with my own orthotics, they have arch support, but it's no big deal for me to take a star off the rating: ) The other nice thing about these shoes is that they have an extra Kevlar-like layer of material just under the insoles for protection as well as preventing thrills. Prevent rocks or objects from piercing your feet. While this is a great security feature, it is only intended as a precaution and preventative, so don't run around looking for sharp objects like nails to step on :). But seriously, I really feel like it's so much better to have that extra layer of protection under my feet because of the nine holes on the bottom. Otherwise, I really like these shoes, from the great style to the comfort, not to mention the versatility. They can be worn in wet or dry environments, during outdoor recreation or simply working in the garden during the hot summer months. To be honest I wouldn't mind carrying them to my local grocery stores and I don't think most people would notice them (or me) :).
