My son LOVES these water shoes! The hard bottom is as secure as tennis shoes and the upper is water permeable. I highly recommend.

These water shoes are very cute but the mesh is made of coarse material. It's not soft like I thought. I was afraid her fingers would rub and hurt him, so I gave them back.

We bought these for camping/river trips. My daughter is a size 6 and they fit her perfectly. This shoe was durable and comfortable to wear all weekend while playing in the water.
