have yet to wear in water, so just a 4 star at this point for that reason. Item is just as described and seems well constructed. Fits like normal tennis shoe. The first pair I ordered a 1/2 size larger based on reviews but found that pair to be just a bit big. I sent 1st pair back and ordered my normal size in tennis shoe and it fits much better. The insole seems a bit scratchy, but walking around in house does not seem to rub or be an issue. Much more comfortable than the speedo water shoe I tried.
