ALEADER Men's Quick Drying Aqua Water Shoes

I was worried about whether these shoes would do the trick. They were fairly cheap ($25 ish) and looked cool, so I was worried they might be "form over function".I purchased them anyway for a river rafting trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and I was wrong - they were absolutely perfect!Unlike many water shoes/river shoes, they look cool. But they work really well too - there are holes in the bottom that water drains out through. The soles are some kind of rubber and have some traction so these were great for short hikes on trails and through vegetation or on rocks - my feet were completely protected. But I could also walk through streams and have the water drain instantly. They dried out quickly too whenever we were in the sun for a bit.In some shoes I am a 10.5 and in some shoes I am a 10. I ordered a 10.5. It felt just the slightest bit loose (since I didn't wear with socks), but that wasn't a problem because the piping you see at the top of the foot hole is actually elastic and holds the shoe on. I think a 10 could have even been too small. These were super comfortable and never felt like they were falling off.My brother wore serious hiking shoes and he was able to climb some rock faces that I wouldn't attempt in these. But for hiking, I was more than comfortable. And my feet dried quickly due to the draining ability of these shoes.For $25, these are practically disposable and did the trick for the trip, functioning WAY better than I expected (I'd have paid more). I'd order whatever size you usually are, and if you are often between two half sizes, choose the large one because the elastic properties of the shoe will allow them to mold to your feet and stay secured.

I got these shoes as a lake shoe to replace the less attractive Crocs I wore prior. I gave them a try based on their attractive look and a plethora of high reviews. They fit a bit small but without sox they were ok. Snug but I thought maybe that was intentional. To my surprise and disappointment, the photos are from a mere 8 or so hours of wear. Within an hour that tab on the bottom came unglued but I thought, it's ok, I'll re-glue it. As you can see from my review history I am pretty forgiving. By the end of the day, they looked like I had worn them for years! They did not hold up to simply walking around on the lake shore. Not, and I stress not hiking, just walking from my camper to the shore several times throughout the day. The bottom started to degrade and frustratingly small rocks get stuck in the holes on the bottom and hurt your foot. After being wet they drain well, but they stay wet for an oddly long amount of time considering they are intended to be a water shoe. Love the look but absolutely regret my purchase and wish I could return them for a refund.

I'm a senior citizen and just started a group aerobics pool class at a local gymnasium. Some of the hour-long drills can get pretty intense, especially when foot grip is needed for speed and agility, not to mention the beating raw feet will take from a standard pool surface. Outside of swimming fins, I never heard of footgear for the pool. Style meant little, so that was just a bonus. Finding a men's size 13 was a challenge. The soles are thick enough for comfort but light enough to maneuver under water. The tread of the soles are grooved and vented to allow safe and comfortable non-slip movement. The entire shoe is ventilated so water does not collect in it. They're easy to slip on with the elastic laces on top and yet stay comfortably and securely attached to your feet throughout vigorous underwater exercise. They include ventilated footpads which tend to come out when you take them off, but are easy to reinsert. It seems I hit it lucky with my first purchase of this type of footwear. Finding them took a dedicated online search to keep looking until I felt I found the product to meet my needs. Now having used them, I am not disappointed. And they dry out quickly too. This product met or exceeded all of my expectations and at a very fair price.

Purchased for a cruise; Used at XPLOR Zip Line/Water park in Cozumel and water rafting in the Rio Bueno river in Jamaica and they were excellent. The holes at the bottom allowed the water to exit the shoe well and although a little stiff the first time wearing, softened up once worn and sitting in the sun. The were comfortable to wear on the beaches and kept my feet from getting burned on the hot tropical sand. They also stayed on my feet well while Zip Lining across the tree lines and while climbing all the stairs in the trees. The only down side is the holes on the bottom of the shoes do occasionally pack with wet sand, but clapping the shoes together will free the sand from the shoes, I even managed to pickup a little live clam on the bottom of one of the holes. I'm buying another pair for my boat.

My husband and I LOVED these when we traveled to Belize. As a female (wearing a women's 10/11), I found the men's sizes very comfortable. They fit well over the top of my foot, but were slightly boxy in the toe box. My husband, with wider feet, found them slightly tight/narrow over the top of his foot. Overall they were great, held up well, drained and dried quickly, and were fairly stylish :)

These water shoes are comfortable, easy to slip on, and sturdy enough to protect your feet from sharp objects on the bottom. They have drainage on the bottom that provides a way for sand to escape and keeps them comfortable. The shoes are comfortable enough to wear out of the water as well. There is plenty of sole padding for walking around a boardwalk and the lacing system is sturdy enough to wear while jet skiing without fear of them slipping off in a fall.Rising them off is easy at the end of the day and they look much better than any alternatives that I've found.Sizing Feedback: The toe area of the shoe is wider than my usual shoes but it hasn't been an issue with blisters or trapped sand this summer.

good product well made light and easy do do up

Too small returned. Waiting for my refund

This is the second pair of these shoes that I have purchased and I have previously been impressed with the quality comfort and durability of them. These are slightly different style and colour I have been using them for some months and there's no indication of any problems I was surprised at the quality control on one of the shoes the threads are exposed in the stitching. I briefly contemplated returning them but I I took a punt and as long as this exposed thread doesn't unravel and contribute to I wish you coming apart I'll be quite happy, so far so good.EDIT: So I’ve had these for approximately one year now, they’ve been so useful they look smart and are fantastic if you live in a tropical region with heavy downpours. I even jog occasionally in wet weather on grass in the park. There is no evidence yet of any damage or deterioration.

So my original review was deleted for some reason. These things got lost in the mail and took a very very verrry long time to arrive. When they arrived the bag they came in was ripped wide open and the shoes were clearly exposed and had been through a rough experience at some point. I posted a picture in my original review as well. I’ve since used them quite a few times in rivers and lakes, rocks get stuck in the soles very easily and are very hard to get out. They stink even though I lay them in the sun with the soles out immediately after using them. I don’t think I’d buy these again.

Stunning shoes.Super lightweight.So cool.And i remove the excellent inner sole when its hot and double the cooling characteristics of the shoe.Tumble wash. Easy drying.I love them and have two pairs. One for lawn bowling- sole is totally flat and does not harm grass surface - and green and yellow is the right colour!The other is slightly different style in blue. Can use indoors as slippers or just comfy casual.Or outdoors anywhere you like. I use it riding mu bike. Remove the sole and your feet stay cooooool!
