Review on Womens Hydro Trainer Medium Medium Women's Shoes and Athletic by Amanda Dolan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For those who don't like barefoot water shoes

my old ones were worn out. I have flat feet with neuropathy and virtually no fat pads on the sole so I can't stand or walk for long and I needed something with soul that was like a regular shoe that could walk in water. I tried on the "barefoot" slippers first because that was all I could find in the big stores, but the showers just felt too flimsy and uncomfortable for me. I first looked at these Ryka water shoes because of the price but after reading some of the reviews on Revain I decided to take a chance and buy a pair. I usually wear size 8 1/2 shoes with orthotics, but I chose size 8 in water shoes and they fit perfectly. The showers are nice and thick but still flexible, although smooth and not very textured (no protrusions on the bottom) which isn't a problem for me, but if you want and/or need more grip in your water shoes, this works might not. The upper part of the shoe is made of a pleasantly light, breathable material that dries relatively quickly and does not absorb odours. The laces seem nice and strong and I put them on with no problems although they are a bit longer even when I use a lace clip to 'tie' so I solved it by making a loop with a little more clip BTW completely removed if you want to use the laces normally which is nice. This is a great pair of water shoes, obviously they are expensive for what they are but if like me you have foot problems or just want something supportive with a thicker soul they are definitely worth the price.
