I bought these for a recent trip to Jamaica. Thought they would come in handy for walking in areas where there were rocks and other unknown objects on the bottom of the water. The sizing runs a little big so they are a tad loose on me... I normally wear a 13 so you may want to go a size smaller, especially since you wont wear socks with them. While not the lightest pair I have owned they do have great traction on slippery surfaces such as rocks, boat decks etc. Just be sure to glue the liner on the inside bottom of the shoe down as it immediately began sliding around when the shoe got wet. This caused a major problem with having to stop, take the shoe off, re-adjust the insole and put the shoe back on. If Speedo were smart they would design this differently in the future.

I've been wearing these water shoes as "house slippers" for the past 10 years. Sure, they eventually wear out, but I have found that they are a great, inexpensive, all-purpose, all-weather, indoor/outdoor shoe suitable for year-round wear in a damp climate. I haven't noticed the odor/poor durability issues mentioned by other reviewers, but remember: these are designed as water shoes for beach wear. Anything more that you get from them should be considered a bonus. I've been getting my bonus for 10 years, based on daily wear - and especially yard work in sometimes wet and soggy, coastal Georgia. I go through 2 or 3 pairs a year; however, in my opinion - for the amount of wear that I DO get out of them - they are well worth the money.

After a couple weeks of using these for walking in the pool the bottom tread was wearing off. I would not reccomend these shoes.

I bought these surfwalkers to use while I am wade fishing. They are ok except for one thing.
The inside cushions are not adhered to the bottom hence they move around inside under my feet. I took them out but walking on the uncovered rubber bottom is a bit uncomfortable.

I bought these for my husband for father's day, he wears a large size shoe so I was happy to find these in a size 14. Unfortunately, after wearing them for one time, the inside material fell apart. So I had to return them. I'm dissappointed.

Purchased these shoes this summer for my husband,He wore them and they were great.However as others have said in there reviews, the inner sole is not glued in and moves,it then makes the shoe uncomfortable to wear.Removing them leaves a very rouugh surface.Also wore out very quickly,with rubber sole cracking on both shoes,and inner lining coming separated which created a hole, very prematurely.The water shoe is comfortable but it does not last!Even with only very limited use.

strong smell poor fit. even after washing them four times they still stink up the entire car ...they went into the trash

These shoes start falling apart almost immediately. In particular, the top separates from the soles at the front easily. The Amazon replaced the first pair that started disintegrating after a couple of walks along the beach, but the replacement pair is just as "good".

I do not know what these shoes are good for, but they are certainly not sturdy enough for walking along the beach, much less so for actually walking in the water or running.

Upsides: Light and easy to don and remove. Airy and flexible.

Downsides: The insoles are peeling apart and floating around in the shoes after only two days of use. Stitching on uppers coming apart. Poorly constructed.

Back to the store they go.


Hope this helps. :)

I bought these to use on excursions for a cruise. They are great-comfortable and perfect when you need to go in and out of wet places. I found them especially good for going into water where there were rocky places.
