I can't say enough positive stuff about these shoes. They don't have to be just water shoes either. My daughter likes to wear them all of the time. Her entire foot is protected, so playground fun is okay too. They slide on and off easily. My daughter (3yo) can do it herself. They are roomy, but not because the size is too big. Unlike other water shoes, they do not become waterlogged or heavy. They dry super fast because there isn't anything for the water to absorb in to. They are holding up very well. I want a pair for myself! She also gets compliments on them all of the time. I will say, after use, they aren't as shiny pink as when they are brand new, but hey, shoes don't stay brand new looking for long.
