Review on VIFUUR Barefoot Water Shoes Quick-Dry Aqua Yoga Socks Slip-on for Men and Women by Eddie Man

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Caution - Biased Review - Bought These for the Intent of Using as House Shoes

Sizing as a House SlipperI wear a Men's 9.5. As house shoes, I bumped the size up to a men's 11. That's right, as house slippers, adding 1.5 sizes up makes these snug fitting shoes feel just right for lounging around at home. This is my 2nd pair. I own a men's 9.5 and 11. The 11 I use at home. The tight 9.5 I use for plane travel and my customers' home offices where shoe removal is required. These pack away, nicely flat in my briefcase.For those who have requirements for removing your shoes at home, this is the one, and I highly recommend these over FitKicks.Construction vs. FitKicksI previously bought this at my true size, which the fit was tight. Even with the tight fitting size (the 9.5), these are holding nicely with no problems in the stitching. My black FitKicks have the tendency to rip easily at the seams near the toe, like many women's nylon stockings. Recently, even nicely repaired and sewn together, I ended up giving my 2 pairs of FitKicks away.Sole vs. FitKicksCompared to FitKicks, the sole on this 'house shoe' is much grippier and feel like zero-drop Vibram soles. Also, these rubber soles are whisper quiet. FitKicks have these cheap, slippery, plasticky soles that can have you clickity-clacking, noisily down the hall on wood flooring. FitKicks are also somewhat slippery to walk on. I haven't fallen yet on the FitKicks but they definitely feel like potential slip hazards.Tight at Your Normal Size Might Be NecessaryTypically, most everyone in these reviews are using these aqua socks for their intended purposes - as aqua socks. At this point, I'd go right ahead and purchase these at your typical size. The result would be tight-fitting, suitable for having your feet immersed in water and walking around the beach.
