Review on UBFEN Men'S & Women'S Quick-Dry Water Shoes For Boating, Fishing, Diving, Surfing & More! by Miriam Mendez

I purchased these water shoes as an alternative to rain boots that i would wear at work. My work is mostly outdoors and i constantly walk all day long. Rain boots are just too heavy for all day use when it rains.I am 10.5 W and i ordered the size 11. They fit comfortably like socks and they do require some break in period if you use them on hard surfaces like cement since these are already like barefoot shoes. Similarly like my 5 finger vibrams, i would wear these for a week in the house, gradually increasing use by hour or two to get use to that barefoot feel and for the shoe to adjust to the size of your foot. They did feel kinda tight in terms of width but thats an easy fix by wearing thick socks and stretching the shoes out.After a week, i wore them for the first time at work when it rained and they felt great. Based on my experience, they had nice grip and thus non slippery while walking, i can submerge into puddles without worrying about my shoes, socks & feet getting wet since i know these water shoes are meant to get wet.These shoes are lightweight, you can pack them in a reusable bag and bring them anywhere, when rain is approaching. I used theses shoes when it rained and used my regular running shoes when the ground dried out. They are quick, easy to remove and put on. After a days of use, i would disinfect the shoes and store them in a bag for the next time it rains.Overall, these are great alternatives to rain boots.Just takes time to adjust to walking longer distances with them if you arent used to barefoot walking. They are light, durable and breathable, and affordable.
