Very good shoes - very comfortable, even in the toes where most of these shoes really pinch. Best water shoes I have ever found and I have tried 6-7 pairs. Too bad the size 11 1/2 didn't come - only straight sizes. I usually wear a size 11 but these shoes always run too small so I ordered a size 12. They're too big for me, but I'll keep them because they're damn comfortable! I will only wear it with an extra insole. The sole itself is very good - thick enough to protect against rocks and oyster shells but not heavy or stiff. As long as you can achieve an exact fit, you'll love these shoes!
