These are the best water shoes I have owned.  I saw some of the reviews that the sizes were not quite right but I had no problem.  It was my true shoe size.  These water shoes are so comfortable that the 1.5 mile walk to the beach was a cinch.  They also helped tremendously when we were in lakes in rivers that had fairly large pebbles and would have hurt walking on them barefoot.  However, if you go to the beach with fine sand it does go right through the fabric so I would use them more for rocky areas.  I would definitely buy again.
