We purchased these shoes for my wife to wear on our trip to Mexico. She doesn't like to have her feet touching things, so it seemed like a good idea.  We were shocked at what others wanted for decent looking water shoes until we found these.  We figured we couldn't lose for the price and took a gamble.

On our first walk down to then beach from our hotel room (less than 1/10 mile), the insoles started shifting and became uncomfortable.  After getting we the first time and putting them back where they went, the problem never happened again.

Overall, we are satisfied with the shoes and their appearance for the (small) price we spent.  Also, we followed the advice in all the other reviews and ordered a 1/2-size small and they worked out great!
