Review on Summer Women'S Walking Sandals By CAMELSPORTS - Athletic Water And Beach Shoes For Casual Travel And Outdoor Activities by Kate Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great on land, not so much in water

I purchased these lightweight shoes to use for water aerobics. While they are quite comfortable on land, they're not really good for water. The soft insoles absorb water, kind of like a stiff sponge, and will release it while I walk, hours after I've been in the pool. Most troubling is the lack of traction. The maker claims they have good traction, showcasing the heel. While the heel has some raised lines, most of the sandal is smooth. This cause me to slip frequently in the pool, and makes me walk very cautiously when on smooth floors. They are so slippery that I fear falling should there be moisture on the floor, so I've stopped wearing them indoors. Should you need a sandal exclusively for outdoor use, these might be for you. While they're quite comfortable due to the soft insole, the foamy bottom provides little support. If you're looking for a true water shoe, keep searching. I found some here for 1/3 the price that are safer and more suited to the water.

Pros
  • EVA SOLE
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with flat feet
