Review on ALEADER Men'S Mesh Slip-On Water Shoes For Swimming And Boating by Aaron Martin

First, let me just say how flippin', gosh-darned comfortable these water shoes are. I wore them in the Bahamas and honestly, I could have worn them for walking around town all day long if I'd wanted to. The soles are flexible and cushy, and they don't rub on your ankles or heels or anything. They seem to be quite durable as well, hardly showing wear. Plus they even look nice, sort of like mesh running shoes. Based on all this I want to give them 5 stars, because I'm quite happy with them. However.Next, let me list a couple minor issues: they don't keep out sand or pebbles, and in fact seem to attract and hold muck inside the shoe when you wear them on a muddy river bottom. Also, sometimes gravel-sized rocks can get wedged into the tread on the soles.And finally, I do have to talk about the one significant (fatal?) flaw: these water shoes don't dry quickly at all. They actually stay wet for a disappointingly long time after worn in the water. I can't really figure out why, considering they seem to be made of a mesh material. It's almost weird, like I can't even figure out where all this moisture is hiding! You almost need to let them sit out overnight to completely dry them. I'd say this could be a fatal flaw if you're really looking for a dedicated water shoe. Like, if you step in the water when launching your canoe or kayak, your feet are gonna be kinda wet and cold for the rest of the morning. In the heat of summer, though, that doesn't bother me.
