The water shoes fit well and protected my feet from the rocks on the beach and also fit in my folding fins for snorkeling. They are convenient and easy to pack. I don't know how durable as I've only taken them to one place and worn them for a couple of hours (and the insole of one of them is loose but if they survive 3 rides they keep their stars and are worth the very reasonable price I paid for it (relatively cheap), I got the one with the waves (reminds me of the Great Kanagawa Wave from the cartoon).
