This is the second year we've bought water shoes from this company for weekly water day at my daughter's school. I absolutely love them! I like how the toes are protected because my little one can be clumsy. They seem to fit large on her. She currently wears an 8.5, so I ordered both the 8 and 9 to check the fit. The 8s were more than large enough. I like how she can help put them on and take them off because of the velcro closure. Also, her feet are wide so I like the large toe box. Great buy!
