Review on ๐ŸŠ HIITAVE Women's Aqua Beach Water Shoes: Quick-Dry Barefoot Swim Socks for Surfing, Pool, River Walking, Diving, and Water Sports by Bobby Posner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Flexible, comfortable, light, good drainage. Nice shoe

UPDATED: Size difference between shoe and my foot was too big for me. This means I wanted a slightly tighter fit. I have nothing against the gray pair I originally bought. The gray shoes actually fit my fiancรฉ (I think they're a bit tight but they stretch really well) so I gave him the gray 9.5. I have since bought black with pink inserts and laces size 9 (pictured). I actually prefer the gray one I originally bought, but I didn't want my fiancรฉ and I to mix them up. They're a little tight, but that's what I wanted. You feel good and comfortable. As it's still cold outside I haven't used them outdoors but expect them to treat me just as well as the gray pair. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I bought the gray ones with laces, size 9.5. My solid 9.5 is almost a 10. I've worn Vibram Five Fingers for years, so this is a small change. Advantages: They are light, flexible and comfortable to wear. I like their breathability. Removable insoles. Shoes dry quickly. They are streamlined and not too chunky. The outsole is grippy and offers excellent traction. I've worn them in the water, in the woods and on asphalt. They did not roll/move around my leg during the activity. The sole is thick enough to avoid getting a small puddle wet. I didn't get any sand in these cons. I could get a size 9 or maybe 8.5. My feet are a bit wider so the smaller size might not have worked. They still fit and don't necessarily affect the fit. My toes have a little more stretch, but I'm guessing that's due to the size and not being used to wearing full toe shoes. They could have slightly better drainage. I am a kayaker and when I jumped in my boat there was a lot of water in it. Overall a good shoe, I recommend ordering one size down if your feet are not too wide. Comfortable to wear in and out of the water.
