Looks like the ones my son got (with lace) are sold out but I'll check them out anyway as the idea is similar. I will say that I bought them for around $13 or $14 and they were definitely worth the price! They are very light and he can easily walk in them. We had no issues with rubbing or blisters. They hold up well and dry fairly quickly. I'm not sure if they would serve as everyday shoes but if I were to pay full price for them I would probably advise him to wear them more often just to justify his money :-) They would be nice and breezy on hot days , not even in the water. He wears size 1 shoes, probably close to size 2, and 1 of them fits him perfectly.
