Review on CIOR Athletic Sneakers Lightweight U1ELJSX011 Pink 34 Girls' Shoes ~ Athletic by John Bosch

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect for wide feet

I ordered two pairs of these shoes for my son last year and I am ordering two pairs again this summer. My son currently wears a size 2.5-3 Plae but he can also wear a size 3 without slipping but with enough room to grow. This part of the review is for the navy blue and orange style (see update #2 below for details on the blue with glow-in-the-dark soles): the good thing is that they're stylish, comfortable, and easy to put on for wide-footed kids. . They are light enough for my son to carry to the pool but have enough grip on the bottom to play in the fender and climb the water slides at camp. They are also good for the beach, but the sand is difficult to clean. The bad news is that the first pair I bought last year got frizzy from putting them in the dryer. I had to dry them because my son's wet bathing suits came home from camp and needed to be washed and dried the next day, and air drying wasn't always quick enough. So this year I plan to buy two pairs for one shift. Update #1 (07/01/2021): The navy blue and orange water shoes are holding up pretty well this summer. They're still the easiest to turn on and off that I've found. My son has used them over 10 times and they are still in good condition. A small amount of fluff will remain when air dried, but this blends in with the navy blue and can be trimmed clean. Look at the picture and note that this is a close-up so it's less visible in person. I have bought water shoes from another major brand which cost a little more and also wear out after similar use. but ended up buying a slightly different style from the same list as my alternate pair for this summer. The shimmery blue color on the dark soles caught my eye and I have to say I love them and highly recommend them. fun style for a kid. He doesn't get up after dark, so I doubt we'll get much use from the glow in the dark, but I also like the green color of the soles. And they glow faintly in a very dark room! More like glow-in-the-dark clothing than stylized photographs. They're still very easy to slip on and off, but not quite as easy as the navy and orange style. So far the material looks perfect after more than 5 uses and is even a bit softer than the other models. I will update if there are any changes but I think these might be the best water shoes I have found. And I tried a few different brands and styles of water shoes for my son.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
