Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Cudas Women's Shasta Water Shoe: Stylish and Versatile Aquatic Footwear by Kate Love

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Must have for athletes! Amazing Aqua Zumba Workouts! Durable toe and heel, excellent stability, ultra-comfortable!

Awesome! I got these for Aquz Zumba after tearing my feet in the pool and digging through lots of water socks/shoes. They are simple and easy to put on. No adjustments are required. They've survived jumps, kicks, jumps, twists and turns and come through with no problems. I have plantar fasciitis and they were comfortable, flexible and had a strong toe box for fast aerobic dancing. They reminded me of tight ballet flats as the tie has the most structure (under water) and can withstand lunges, twists and jumps. But the heel has support and doesn't strain my PF at all. They're as soft and comfortable as slippers, yet cool and breathable. It took about 10 minutes from wet to dry in the dryer. With them I was able to easily triple my productivity in pelvic training. And in contrast to some other, more expensive swimming shoes. You can swim in it regularly. Not perfect. but reasonable. I didn't listen to my Aquz Zumba instructor who told me to downsize every water shoe by at least ONE full size. So there was a slight wobble and weird movement. But even being the wrong size I had amazing movements and no calluses with an easy transition to the pool deck and sauna. They are so comfortable and cute, and their price is right in the middle of real water shoes. and cheap socks. I recommend downsizing. I usually wear sports and casual shoes from 8 to a maximum of 8.5 and ordered 8. They are definitely too big. But for fast dances in the water, the sizing is fine as the toe box is very durable, as is the heel (the two places you land most often). So I recommend 1/2 smaller for people using them for hiking creeks, rivers, etc., and a whole size smaller for intermediate or higher water fitness. Half a size smaller left this flexible for me. Luckily, the good quality meant the strong toe and heel held up and withstood twists and turns. I haven't had any falls or had to "adjust" during training. So, Aqua Zuma fans or swimmers? A whole number smaller. river/stream/hiker? half size. But high-altitude tumble drying also tightens things up. Comfortable: very. No scuffs, sharp spots or scuffs. Like expensive slippers. Durable: Very strong: Very attractive: As cute as it gets. Portability: Wearable on and off - no adjustments or ties. Size: Accurate when dry. 1 size large when wet (see previous) Athletic: Unless you're swimming a marathon in these shoes, they're great for high-intensity cardio and lunges/squats/walking in the water. When you are outdoors they work in lakes, running water and have a good grip. Any deep/intense swim. You can lose them, although that's just a projection I haven't encountered. It is clear that I am satisfied with what I need and what I use them for. Recommended without hesitation. If you do a deep dive like me. At least 1/2-1 size smaller. Would recommend for both price and versatility. Great workout, thanks!
