This only my second review ever but I wanted to be sure to write it since I was a bit hesitant to purchase something that had no reviews.

I've just received the grey/blue Speedo water shoes and WOW, I am IMPRESSED!

I needed to purchase water shoes for a cruise we will be going on and really didn't want to settle for the cheap $10 water shoes that have very THIN soles, since we'll be climbing on rocks, river tubing, etc. on our cruise.  We also live in Florida so I needed water shoes for walking around Busch Gardens and boating/beaches/watersports that we do here at home.

These shoes have a great look to them, they look very much like "real" tennis shoes, which is exactly what I wanted.  The colors are also nice.....I've already decided to order the pink and black pair as well, and I hope those colors look as nice as these.

The shoes are a bit snug to put on, even pulling on the back loop doesnt help with getting them on, it's necessary to actually hold open the shoe with your hands while you put them on.  But once they're on, they fit perfectly.  I like that they're a bit tough to put on, hopefully this will help them not to slip around much once I get them wet.

There are four large areas of mesh on each shoe to provide for air flow into the shoe, and water to exit the shoe.  There are also two large areas of each side of the foot (on each shoe) that is completely open, a half-circle cut-out area.

The feel is very comfortable, they are very lightweight and looks like it will provide great protection in a river.  The sizing runs a bit large (I think?).  In other words, I typically wear a size 6.5-7 and a size 6 fit me perfectly in these shoes.

I'll be back to write more once I test these out in water.  My biggest concern is my foot moving around a lot (as it has in other water shoes) making walking difficult when the shoe is wet.  I am not anticipating having a problem, as the  inside of the shoe feels as though it has some sort of traction to stop this from happening.

First impression: WOW!

EDIT:  Tested out the shoes in water and no slipping around.  They worked great at the beach!  HOWEVER, I would NOT recommend these shoes for walking around cruise ports and/or amusement parks.  Just below the insole is a honeycomb-like  area and unless you're extremely thin, you will feel this every step you take.  I ended up giving the shoes to my niece who weighs about 90 lbs, and she can't feel the honeycomb beneath the insole so they're very comfortable for her.  I would have kept them if I ONLY wanted them for boating or beach, but I'm looking for something I can also walk around amusement parks and cruise ports.
