These sandals do what I wanted -- keep water off my feet at the pool and provide a quick slip on/off at my other exercise classes.  But I was surprised how goofy these looked on me in person!  First, several reviewers recommended sizing up, but I would disagree.  I usually wear a 9.5 or 10, so I got a 10, and these extend over an inch behind my heels.  The band over the foot is excessively tall, making it pretty loose to walk in.  If you tighten the velcro, the top part of the band then sticks straight out to the side, which just looks silly.  Finally, I'm not sure if it's just the too-large size, but the sandals look much bulkier on me than they do in the picture.  They are fairly heavy and thick in both the sole and the band.  I'm very lazy about returning purchases so I kept these -- but I'd recommend skipping them and looking elsewhere.
