Photos of shoes don't prepare you for how fun they are to wear. The best description I can think of is "a crocodile but a little dressed". While I wouldn't pair them with truly dressy attire or even casual non-swimwear, I see them as a great alternative to your typical shoes. They move easily out of the pool onto dry land without being slippery and look better than flip flops. All in all I think it's a fun idea. This rating reflects my honest opinion and was not influenced by other factors. I received this product for review purposes.
