Review on ALEADER Men'S Mesh Slip-On Water Shoes For Swimming And Boating by Robert Oner

I'm always concerned that I'll order something and it will not fit correctly. I'm a size 14 shoe and these size 14 water shoes fit like a glove. As an added benefit, the synthetic material will fold flat and compact in their own bag that will seal. The clear plastic bag the shoes came in will not last forever but good enough for my next trip. I would recommend these base on fit and for ease of packing. The next test will be at Vietnam and Thailand beaches in March and April. I'll update this review if the shoes fail during my trip. 5 stars for now.So, it is now April 6, and I've come to the end of trips to Vietnam and Thailand, where I used my water shoes. As I said earlier, out of the box the shoes were true to fit (size 14). Wearing them on the beach those little holes on the bottoms of the soles will suck up pebbles and sand like a vacuum. I picked up a spherical pebble (stone) in one of the largest holes while walking with a group of people to a diving boat and it was really irritating because I could not stop. Finally, when I got on the boat I pried the stone out of the hole. It was deeply seated. There isn't much separating the sole from your foot so when you pick up a stone or loose gravel you're going to feel it. These will also pickup a lot of sand when walking on the beach. You would however want these shoes if you're in water with a lot of nasty trash, like broken glass or plastic or when swimming in deeper water around corals, urchins and more. I'm changing my review to 3 stars based on my use these past two months.
