I got these for my husband who often has many complaints about summer shoes but did need something to wear to the pool or beach. He is in between sizes so I sized up and it was the correct decision as these fit comfortable staying on while not squeezing the foot. He likes the fact these are not thong style so they don't cut into his toes, and that there is no velcro so no constant adjustment needed. He is also a fan of the fact there is no fabrics to get wet near his feet and was excited about the holes there to drain water. Overall these have a nice look for poolside, they are comfortable, easy to keep dry and if you are between sizes it is best to size up for fit.
