I really wanted a pair of these water boots. When I finally got them I tried them on, they were a bit tight. I am 10.5 years old and bought 11. After wearing them around the house for less than an hour, I took them off and found them on my right heel. Very disappointed with the product. I liked the design and functionality of the shoes. I wanted to use this product for swimming the Pennsylvania mountain streams, kayaking the Delaware and Susquehanna rivers, and fishing and swimming in the Atlantic. I don't know if they stick together in the field if they don't even stick together in the living room.
