Review on Mishansha Mens Womens Water Shoes Quick Dry Barefoot For Swim Diving Surf Aqua Sports Pool Beach Walking Yoga by James Handy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Happy w/purchase good for me

Was a little skeptical about what size to buy as many reviews say shoe os a little large.I wear a size 11, and purchased a size 11. Shoes fit just fine. Toe box may be slightly large, but once shoes get wet you'll be happy its that way. The tightening strap works well to compensate for any looseness of shoe (if any).I bought these for a recent trip to Cancun, and I'm very happy I did.I wore these shoes all week (on and off) for all beaches, xcaret park, jet skiing, boating, steets, etc.They held up just find and were comfortable, even when wet.Some sand got in, but overall not much.Only on the last day did they pickup an odor which I attribute to the particular water where we were at in a park which was relatively stagnant. A wash brought them back to normal.For those who say you won't need these shoes on the beaches, that may be so,.but in the water is another story.Upon our visit (last week), we visited a few of the beaches , and a few of them were rough and had rocks/coral that were pretty large. Other beaches (Lobster beach, Dolphin Beach, and Isla Mujeres you definitely wont require them, but I wore them to the beach).Aside from the time and some inconveniences to get to Isla Mujeres, it is definitely worth the trip! We did it twice during the week we were there. I'd suggest leaving from Playa Tortugas and not Playa Juarez.The only downside of Playa Tortugas is the last ferry returns at 7pm. The upside is,.not as much chaos (people trying to get you to go on tours), and the buses will be available for your return ride home.The bus will take you to either location, but our driver was telling us we should leave from Playa Juarez. and we'll never get on the ferry at Tortugas without a reservation (not true).The first time we went to Juarez, and not only is the ride from the hotel zone further, but if you dont take a tour, you end up walking back about 10 minutes to the ferry. In addition, there will ge NO Return bus home to the hotel zones from Juarez. You'll find yourself searching for transportation via alternative methods to an area where the bus runs!You'll have no issues at Playa Tortugas.

Pros
  • Can be worn without socks for a truly barefoot experience
Cons
  • Velcro strap can scratch skin
