Was looking for a good water shoe diverse enough for wearing on the boat, on the beach, and walking in general on land.  I read a bunch of reviews.  These shoes live up to all the praise & glad I chose to spend a bit more $ than I expected to.  My prior water shoes were Nike, bought on sale for $35, purchased almost 10 years ago.  Nike no longer made them so I had no sense of direction on where to go or what to look for or what I really wanted.  Hard to judge shoes like these on the internet.  Thanks to all who wrote reviews & helped me make my decision.  I was a bit concerned about how comfortable shoes would be with the water drainage technology, etc.  I'm thrilled with them.  Size is to fit - I'm a 9 1/2 often stuck buying size 10.  These 9 1/2's fit perfectly & fit very well & comfortably.
