Centipede DemonWater Shoes for Mens Womens Quick Dry Barefoot Beach Swim Diving Aqua Sneakers 7 Women

Will give 5 Stars as soon as I get the Fit right!These Water Shoes are So Comfy!! The feel is nice and is a Great Quality so Far! The only complain is if you tighten the strings to fit then they are so Long you step on them, easy fix is to adjust the top to fit at a good length and tie a knot in the bottom/front of the laces and cut them there, that way you dont loose the hard thing on them. And if your ordering them, at least on me I Typically wear either an 9 in women's, So I ordered a 8.5 cause of some reviews say size down, some say size up! It's all so confusing!! I DEFINITELY needed to size down!!! I'm sending these back and going to a 7.5!!! See my pics about the laces and the size. Hope this helps anyone.By the way! The soles are perfect on gravel or in sand! I tried them on both in my Garden. Plus the yellow inserts are so squishy which makes them feel like a real shoe, not just a water shoe!

I’m so pleased with this purchase. I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for something that would protect my feet when clambering over rocks on my river treks. This fits the ticket. They slip on easily and are super comfortable. I wore them on a trek through the bushes and up the side of a mountain to a waterfall and they held up well. Had to cross over a river and I loved the fact that the shoes didn’t absorb the water - they dried out quickly so I didn’t have to change shoes or walk around in soggy sneakers like others in my party. I kept them on for the whole day after that and did a couple of other short treks over rocks and rough terrain and I had no problems. I’m always afraid of falling or slipping on smooth surfaces, but these have a good grip and stay secure on your feet, so I feel confident tramping through uneven or slippery terrain in them. They’re so nice and comfy even for padding around at home.And they’re cute and funky looking to boot! I wear a 10 in sneakers and that’s what I ordered and they fit true to size.

They feel weird on my feet bc they’re straight cushion and the toes are wide like duck feet...but I guess that’s how water shoes are supposed to feel? They’re a bit too long bc I’m a half size(in between sizes), but if I pull the laces real tight and tie, the water shoes stay on quite well (if I go down a size, my toes would end up rubbing up against the front of the shoe so I’ll stay with what I got). They don’t rub when walking, I think the wide-toe-area feature helps with this, so that with every step, your toes can spread naturally as if walking barefoot. I jumped in and out of the pool, they were not sloshy, my feet did not slip inside the shoe, the water emptied through the honeycomb holes in the insole of the shoe and out the holes of the sole. I ran around with wet shoes making sudden stops on the pavement and did not slip. They are surprisingly very grippy. I’m suuuuper picky as to what go on my feet, and I really like these water shoes. A win for me! ;)

I love these! They are surprisingly very comfy & cute. But the sizing was trial and error....I gave them a chance cuz they had free returns. Im glad I did.I normally wear women size 9.5 in open toe shoes & a 10 in athletic shoes and boots. regular width.Many reviews stated that these run big so I ordered the women 9.5. they were too small. My big toe was pressed up against the front & Not comfortable.. I exchanged for 10.5 & these fit great. I have enough space in the front of the shoe that when I walk my big toe does not press or touch the front of the shoe. They fit me like a women size 10.They are listed in US sizes but,the actual shoes are marked in Euro sizes as follows:Women 9.5- euro 40 ( fits like a 9)Women 10.5-euro 41 ( fits like a 10)Run 1/2 size smaller then listed US size.**NOTE** the way these are constructed, the foot does not sit right against the back of the shoe. (See pics) when i start walking the foot is pushed & sits a bit forward. This does not affect the comfort of the shoe at all. But it does effect the sizing.Because of this I had to get the 10.5 Normally 10.5 would be too big for me, but since my foot sits a bit forward i have some space in back & the front of the shoe. ( Perfectly centered) Its actualy quite comfortable because it doesn't rub my heel or my big toe. And it does not feel like they are too big on me either. I would say the fit is perfect. & Since they have laces I can adjust them as needed.( ***if you normaly wear women 10.5 these will be too small, buy the next size up***)*****I also like to mention that these are water shoes, so they don't have a cushion insert. they feel like walking barefoot except you have a rubber sole to protect the bottom of your foot. If walking barefoot is not comfortable for you cuz you need more cushion, then these will not help. The do have moderate arch support.Over all I am very happy with this purchase. I have not used them for their intended purpose yet cuz its currently winter, but they are so comfy that for now I am using them to walk around the house & walking the dog. So far I love them!!! I will update with how well they hold up.***UPDATE***I had these over a year now. It's now March 2021 these shoes held up well & still look good. I'm very active & used them all summer long. They are very comfy & dry fast.

Update: We are back from our trip, and I used these shoes frequently while swimming in the ocean and walking around in shops. They were nice and grippy on rocks, so I didn't slip around when checking out the tide pools. They are better than most shoes at keeping out sand, unless the sand is deep and loose and it comes over the top at the ankle. I don't think there's really anything you can do about that. The fit at the ankle is snug but not uncomfortable. If it was tighter it would not be comfortable, so I'd rather get a little sand in my shoes. I swam in them with no problems, and was grateful to have something covering my feet in the rocky shore beds of Hawaii. They do not dry quickly while you're wearing them though.. Even in a warm place like Hawaii. That's not a game changer for me though, I was happy to have them.I bought these water shoes for an upcoming trip to Hawaii, so I have been wearing them a couple days to make sure they will be comfortable for my feet. I've had some issues lately with bunions, and some pain in the knuckle of my big toe on both sides, so I was a little leery of shoes with no arches. I was pleasantly surprised however, because I've been wearing these shoes for two days now and my feet actually feel better than they usually do. I wear rubber toe separators between my big toe and second toe on each foot, and there is plenty of room in the shoes for that. At first my feet felt a little uncomfortable in that joint I was talking about, but it seems like using barefoot shoes really is healthy for your feet! I am enjoying them so much that I searched for some winter shoes like this. I haven't used these in the water yet so I will try to remember to update my review when we get back from Hawaii. Aloha!!
