My husband and I both got a pair of these Speedo swim shoes to use during our honeymoon in the Bahamas. We used them while swimming with dolphins where there were slippery rocks you had to walk across in the water and needless to say everyone else was struggling and jealous of our water shoes. I like wearing these while in the ocean just for the peace of mind that I wouldnt cut my feet on anything. They are true to size. Snug at first but they seem to loosen up when you get them wet.
