I would recommend and buy again. I mean, you're not considering these shoes for their fashion value. They're a bit clunky, as are most athletic sandals.  I usually wear a women's nine, got an eight and they fit just right. There's three adjustable straps, which makes for a good fit. Other reviewers said they were narrow, I don't have narrow feet and they seem just fine to me. The BEST part about them is these tiny little cushions that protect your feet from the hard plastic elements. They're like tiny pillows preventing rubbing or blisters. The footbed is comfortable.  I haven't tried them in water but imagine the cloth might take some time to dry.
