I bought two pair of these water shoes to take on vacation with us, one for my husband, the other for our 18 year old son.  They wore them to the beach and they didn't even last this one outing. The soles of them came out and we couldn't get them to lay back down and stay in the shoe. Even though they tried, they were not able to wear them a second time. We ended up throwing them away. It was a total waste of money.
