Review on UBFEN Mens & Womens Water Shoes: Quick-Dry For Boating, Fishing, Diving, Surfing And More! by Brian Graham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Awesome for short term but somewhat irritating on the achilles due to rough stitching.

Looks: 5/5Durability: 5/5 (so far)Comfort: 4/5 irritable at achillesFunction: 4/5 slow to dryI got these so that I could wear them boating/swimming in a sandy river. For that purpose, I loved these! I don't know how they would feel on rougher/rocky terrain but they seem like they would be good and sturdy for most water wading situations. They're super cute and pretty sturdy plus I like that my foot didn't really slide around inside the slipper like some other brands that I've tried. I usually wear 8.5 because my feet are wide and they fit comfortably in terms of size. There was a small amount of extra room at the base of the heel but nothing problematic. These didn't hold a ton of water but they also we're not very quick to dry. That doesn't bother me much personally since most fabric shoes are that way but I could see it being a deterrent for some. My biggest problem with these shoes was that the stitching around the ankle is sewn with some pretty rough and uncomfortable thread that was especially irritating on the achilles area. It wasn't unbearable at the beginning but definitely noticable even within the first few seconds of trying on. After about 2 hours of wearing them in the water I started to feel bothered by them so I took them off. Nothing's worse than blisters in the water. I wish I could get longer use out of these I'd probably buy more in defferent colors if it wasn't for that stitching discomfort because other than that I really liked these! For now I'm going to see in some softer fabric over that stitching. Maybe they'll improve them over time.

Pros
  • Ideal for stand-up paddleboarding
Cons
  • Not very stylish
