SIMARI Water Shoes for Women Men Swim Aqua Socks Beach Pool Essentials Barefoot Surf River Boat Kayak Sea

I love these water shoes to use for my water aerobics. They help me keep my balance in the pool. They slip on easily with the help of the tab on the back and on the top front of the shoes. I normally wear a size 8.5W (wide width since my feet sometimes swell.) I ordered the 8.5-9.5 and they fit perfectly. The shoes are breathable and comfortable to walk in on the pool deck and in the pool. They wouldn't be a good option for walking on rocky terrain though since the sole is pretty thin. They are not slippery at all and have good traction. I ordered the navy blue color which looks pretty dark. They almost look black. I will definitely order more pairs in different colors that match other swimsuits of mine. Read more

Exactly what I was looking for. These are easy to pack water shoes that don’t rub on your heel. I find them very comfortable! Read more

These seem well made, but I have worn them for only a day. The foot opening is somewhat small -- I have thin feet and legs and I wouldn't want it smaller. It will help the shoe stay on, but it's tighter than my other water shoes. The rest of the foot is great, plenty of toe room, perfectly sized. This one is equivalent to European size 42-43, which works for my size 11 narrow feet (women's). Men or women with wide feet might be better in a different brand with different size range because the next size up might be too large. Water shoes seem to come in a few different size ranges -- 10-11, or 10.5 - 11.5, etc. Brands differ, so you need to check each one. This was 10-11, and my shoe size is normally 11 to allow toe room, but my foot length would match a size 10.5 and this has plenty of toe room. My main complaint is the color. I did not expect an exact match with what I saw on screen, but this is not what I would call "green" at all. I was expecting a light green, sort of mint/pistachio green, not any sort of yellow-green. What I received was slightly greenish fluorescent/neon yellow, similar to the color of safety stripes you'd see on a construction site or traffic control. I compared them to my safety vest and it's just very slightly more green. They are annoying to look at, but at least I will be able to find them. I wanted a light color, but it seemed that white was my only other choice. They are comfortable and have a removable foot bed, so that that's good. Read more

Bought these for a trip to curaçao. The beaches are rocky and these came in so handy. The size was a good fit and they are very light weight. Read more

I wanted a minimal shoe to protect my feet from oyster beds and tree roots and unseen sea-floor hazards when I started kayaking 10 months ago. These have done the job beautifully, allowing me to get in and out of the kayak on all sorts of ground without worrying about my feet. I've walked on top of sharp oysters and not felt a thing. The shoes slip on and off very fast, so they don't encumber my routine. When I'm back from a paddle, I rinse them off while they're still on my feet, and leave them outdoors to dry. After ten months of rough use, the shoes are starting to fall apart. I've worn them about 50 times, and sometimes left them out in the Florida sun to dry. The stretchy uppers are now fading from black to gray. The "collar" (the ribbon of material surrounding the big hole where your foot goes in) is starting to separate from one of the uppers. A thin cloth lining is peeling away from the top of the removable rubber insole (it started peeling away after just a month or so of use), leaving the exposed rubber a little (but only a little) slimy against the foot. So the shoe could be more durable. But at this price, for the protection it provides my feet and the ease of getting it on and off, it's been great for me. Now that I am a more experienced and regular kayaker, when this pair of shoes finally wears out, I will probably look first for a pair that's likely to last, say, 5 times as long and cost only, say, twice as much, without sacrificing protection and ease of slipping on and off. But I'm not sure I'll find such a pair, and if I don't, I'll be pretty happy to reorder a pair of these. Pros: - Protects the sole of your foot from seashells, tree roots, etc. - Light, unbulky, "minimal" shoe - The stretchy upper hugs your foot - Slip on and off easily - Can be rinsed off while still on your foot and left outdoors to dry - Low price Cons: - Could be more durable - The cons that go along with a "minimal" shoe - no arch support, almost no cushioning against things dropped on your toes from above Read more

When I put these on my feet, I found that they barely fit. My feet measure just under women's size 10.5. Depending on the brand of footwear, I usually wear women's size 10 or 10.5. For these shoes, I ordered women's size "10-11" and they barely fit me. They fit like socks with a firm sole and a very rigid binding on the top where you slip your foot into the shoe. I have high arches and felt like this binding or topline tried to cut into my feet when I moved a lot in these shoes, so I would not call these comfortable to wear or use. The two positive things I have to say are that 1) they looked fine with a nice colorfast black and 2) they did seem to protect the bottom of my feet while I was exercising in a pool. Read more

Still doing their job a few years down the road. I never go kayaking without them. Read more

Great packaging, I love how it fits, hugs my feet with enough pressure to stay on without being uncomfortable. Fabric is soft and breathable. Soles are thin and flexible while still being durable. No issues with slipping in them or having the insole separate from the shoe while walking. I bought two pairs, one for me and one for my partner. They were shipped separately and I didn’t get mine in time to take them to the water park. However, I got the wrong pattern (one that’s not even in the listing) and the edge of the top is fraying after only one visit to a water park (probably while sitting in the pool with our toddler). Still seems usable though. Read more
