Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Enhanced Performance: Women's Hydro Trainer Medium Medium Women's Shoes by Regina Poe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For those who don't like barefoot shoes

I needed a new pair of water shoes for the gym (sauna/steam/jacuzzi) and the local spa as 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 need something with soul that looks like a regular shoe that can 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 prices, 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 settled on size 8 water shoes and they fit perfectly. Souls are nice and thick but still flexible, although smooth and not very textured (no nude ones Bs on the bottom). Which isn't a problem for me, but if you want and/or need more traction in your water shoes, this may not work. The upper part of the shoe is made of a nice, light, breathable material that dries fairly quickly. and do not hold back odors. The laces feel nice and strong and I've tightened them up with no problems, although they're a bit longer even when I use the lace clip to "tie up" so I untie it by making a loop with excess, the clip can be removed completely BTW if you want to use the laces normally which is nice. This is a great pair of water shoes, sure they are expensive for what they are but if you have foot problems like me or just want something supportive with a thicker soul they are definitely worth the price.
