I bought these as a gift for my husband, he doesn't believe on buying expensive "water shoes ", but he loved them .... the only thing is that you need to buy one size smaller than the size that you regularly use on normal shoes.

I don't like the way the famous Crocs look for guys (they are okay for women and kids). So I have been looking for something similar, but not so clog looking. I found these Speedo Buoy's and purchased the black pair. They are awesome! I think they look better and much more functional for active guys. They are very non-slip, they have little holes in the bottom that water drains through, they fit securely, and they are really comfortable. I am using them around the pool, at the beach, and climbing on big rocks at the shore. I will probably also order a 2nd pair in brown.

THANKS SPEEDO for giving us an alternative to Crocs!!!! These are really great water shoes. I highly recommend them.

Backpackers need lightweight items & the Speedo Men's Buoy Water Shoe is a true find! My husband & son used them as in-camp shoes on their 7-day backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, NM. After a day of hiking with a 50+ lb. pack on your back, it feels good to relax & take off your hiking boots & socks. These Speedo Buoy Water Shoes are lightweight, comfortable, & have a firm, closed toe that's quite a bit more substantial than the toes of Crocs (& my son thinks they're more comfortable than Crocs, too). The drain holes in the soles make them perfect to use as river shoes & shower shoes...when they could take a shower. I ordered the shoes in brown & in multiple sizes (10, 9, 8) to make sure to get their correct size. My husband (wears size 10.5) ended up with the size 9 & my son (wears size 9.5) ended up with size 8...so be prepared to order a size, or size & a half, smaller than you usually wear. Also, my guys have wide feet...hooves, as I like to call them,...& the width was fine. They love these shoes!...& the shoes look really good on both of them!

Great traction in mud, don't slip off either. Nice and light, comfortable. I went with a 1/2 size larger and was glad I did. They do seem to run a little wide, but I have narrow feet. Good drainage, and if pebbles make their way in, the usually wash out in a few steps.
Best kayak shoe I've found so far.

I bought this shoe because I needed footwear that could be used for hiking and can be used in water. This shoe work perfectly for what I need. The shoes are light, almost to the point that you forget that they are on. The also provide good support so it is possible to walk moderate distances without your feet hurting.

The only negative for the show in my opinion is that it does not come in half-sizes. The shoes are sized differently that regular shoes, so if you usually wear a 11, get a size smaller, a size 10.

I recently started lap swimming at my local pool and got tired of wearing tennis shoes and messing around with removing/putting on socks/shoes before and after said swims. Needed something comfortable and easily removed when I got to the pool. I hate the look of flip flops and typical Tevas and wanted something unique.

I ordered the "silver" models. Very impressed with these shoes. I've had them for three weeks now and really have no complaints. They look really good and are very comfortable. Easy to take on and off at the pool, even with wet feet. In fact they are so comfortable I find that they've become my main shoe to wear when loungin around the house or running down to the grocery store. Soles have good grip and don't show any premature or abnormal wear.

I only have one issue and in all reality I am not sure it is too big of an issue. I wear a size 13 in all shoes and admit that these Speedo's might seem a little large. I am not sure if they are suppose to fit this way but this looser fit hasn't effected the comfort nor how well they stay on my feet.

Pros
Comfortable, I can wear them all day.
Look good, better looking than a pair of flip flops, at least to these eyes.
Relatively inexpensive since some water shoe brands can get extremely pricey.
Wear around the pool, around the house, all around comfort.

Con
Seems to be sized just a little large to my feet.

These Speedo Buoy are my first pair of dedicated water shoes. Overall, the shoes look great and feel very comfortable on the foot, although they are not extactly true to size and feel loose, about 1 size too large. The reason I gave 4 stars are the drainage holes in the sole - while it is not a problem while you're in the water, too much sand gets in though these numerous holes as you walk on the beach. I wished Speedo R&D provided a way to plug these holes or used a some sort of one way valve...

How much time will you spend looking for a cheaper shoe? Just buy this one. It is fine!

I use these for Aquacise every day. My only complaint is with the Velco strap. I wear a 13-D shoe but these feel too wide and the starp is useless because the Velco can't go back far enough to tighten. It's as if the shoe is a EE width. I use them anyway; they won't fall off but they are lose fitting.

Use it on a cruise....love the shoes very comfortable just to even walk in. only problem is sand get into the shoes..but other than that great great aqua shoes!
