Review on Vertico Black And Grey Slide-On Shower Sandals: Comfortable Pool-Side Shoes With Improved SEO by Deandre Vogt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Okay - but fill with water in the shower making walking slick

I am a regular lap swimmer at my local YMCA. At a recent visit to the dermatologist he glanced at my feet and alerted me to what he described as a strong foot fungus. This is not the over-the-counter treatment kind, rather a month's worth of daily pills and a very expensive co-pay twice daily cream - AND the direction to wear lockerroom sandals.I purchased the Vertico shower/pool sandals and they are largely good and I would recommend. Pricing is okay, traction is good, slip-on ease is reasonable and they have some coloration to make them easier to see in a dark gym bag or closet.I found them to fit very large and returned the first pair I purchased based on my normal shoe size for one size smaller.More troubling is a design flaw. I wear these into the shower and the design of the sandal is bowl-shaped for the foot area such that it forms a pond when standing in the shower as the downward directed water fills the bowl shape insole area with no place to drain. Now you are literally walking in a mini swimming pool and need stand awkwardly on one leg (on a wet surface) to drain or walk with a now dangerously slick insole to the locker area to remove and drain.Simple design change suggestion - cut gutter groves near the back heel such that gravity will drain the insole and the sandals don't fill up like a pond.Overall - okay, but the water ponding in the insole thing is dangerous and you should be aware.

Pros
  • This is my second pair. I wear them daily
Cons
  • My husband wasn't thrilled with these. The quality of the sandals is fairly go
