Bought these as I do lots of aqua fit.. I’m a size 5 in shoe had these kind of plastic shoes before..I ordered a size lower been 4.5 UK in light blue. They fit perfectly.. they need to fit snuggly so not to come off .there good crip in pool as well as around the edge..
If you want to walk on rocks then buy the material ones. But you will still get sand inside…
They’re great, colour is great, however the reviews and sizing is so misleading! Some people are saying too big, some people saying way too tight and small. I believe this depends on the style and colour the customer has chosen. I chose the fuchsia pink/orange one. I am a size UK6.5 and went half a size up to err on the edge of caution (uk7) unfortunately they were too large. I will now go down to a size 6 and buy it in the same colour in hope that it will fit. For those looking to buy, pay attention to which colour and style of the cressi aqua fit shoe they bought and reviewed!
We bought these as my husband rubs the sides of his slippers away very quickly and goes through slippers like no tomorrow these have done the trick and he can wear them to go in the garden too win wi
Really happy with these! Sturdy, great fit and look good too. I ordered the clear pink which were advertised as childrens but I bought an adult size and they fit perfectly. Ideal for walking on a pebbly beach and/or wearing in the sea for a swim.
Theses shoes are great for boating, swimming, beach, wild swimming in lakes, rivers, stream exploration and generally keeping feet safe in the water anywhere. Stop stjj in nhs from weever fish etc. Can’t rate them high enough. The colour shown wasn’t the colour that arrived but more a dark blue almost black colour but it wasn’t about the colour. Apart from getting a little sand rash thought they where good enough to kit the whole family out with as had beach shoes before and 90% of them are next to useless. These are true to size, very grippy even though material felt firm to touch. Didn’t mark boat grp. Superb product second to none.
These are wonderful for swimming from pebbled beaches. They wouldn’t be good on sand, as the holes would let the sand in. They’re great to swim in, fitting well. I wouldn’t want to walk very long distances, as they’d probably feel very hot. I am the envy of friends as I don’t have to pick my way over pebbles and rocks. Easy to rinse, don’t smell, and I’ve had mine 3 years and they are still good. Very good value for money.
Water shoes are never going to be sexy – they will always be a function over image type of shoe. However, compared to some of the monstrosities out there these are suitably pretty. It’s a bit weird seeing your toes squished inside them but much more attractive compared to the oversized bulky jesus-sandal type of water shoe.
I am a bit squeamish about things in the sea, but I have used them when the sand is too hot, when there were sea cucumbers everywhere to worry about, when it was really stony, I have snorkelled in them a few times too. Overall, I think they are one of the best options for water shoes and they clean very well so you don’t have to carry any beach sand or rogue seaweed strands back home with you!
We have just holidayed on Mauritius and the beach, although beautiful, is basically ground coral. These shoes were brilliant and we certainly could not have gone into the sea without them. They were a little tricky to get on but that meant that they were a lovely snug fit. They were very light and did not impede swimming in any way. The only reason I have not given them 5 stars is because the holes in the top did allow quite a bit of sand in, which I found a little irritating, but my husband didn’t have a problem with that, so maybe it was just my problem. Overall, I really recommend them.
It was either the UK10 or 8.5 (I’m a size 9 which aren’t available), it seems I made the right choice as they fit perfectly (I have slender feet)
Have not tried them in water yet but they feel light enough not to interfere with swimming.
The images appear to show quite a thick sole and heel but this is not the case. The sole of the shoe is quite thin and may not offer much more protection on shingle than bare feet. I tried them on the gravel driveway and it was bearable but not really what I was expecting.
Will update after sea experience!
I ordered two pairs of Cressi swim shoes due to conflicting sizing descriptions. I am normally size 4 UK, ordered UK 4/US 4.5/EU36 as well as UK4.5/US5/EU37 and the larger one (i.e. UK 4.5) fits me. Typical/most sizing is UK size 4 = EU 37, but for the Cressi shoes, UK sizing is wrong by 0.5 (US sizing looks very wrong – but I don’t use US sizing, can’t comment). Prior to purchase, Amazon assured me full refund for ordering two sizes and returning a pair that does not fit; Refund through Amazon’s website automatically charges you to return the pair; however, I did manage to get full refund by contacting Amazon representative through online chat (from the order page). Before I ordered Cressi shoes, I also ordered Fashy pro-swim shoes (similar to this) in what they claim to be “size 4” (EU36/37). However, Fashy shoes turned out to be true to Size UK 3, which is very tight for me but as it’s softer, it’s only just “bearable” vs. Cressi size 4 EU 36, which I find it tortuous. Even if you have slim feet, if you are size 4 and have long toes like mine, then chances are that you would feel extreme discomfort wearing their UK 4 (which is EU 36 and more true to UK 3 than 4). Fashy pro-swim shoes come in two-size intervals – so from UK 3 (EU 36/37) it jumps to UK 5 (EU 38/39), so I kept UK 3 (as UK 5 way too big for me) but decided to keep Cressi shoes EU 37 (UK 4.5). Compared to Fashy pro-swim, Cressi swimming shoes are sturdier – so I plan to wear this on boat or walking on the rocky surfaces, and wear the Fashy pro-swim in the water.
I have written this 6 months after purchase. I am a daily sea swimmer off a very stony beach where some foot protection is a must. They have turned out to be perfect. Like others who recommended buying a size smaller I did. Even in icy winter sea water where, believe me, everything shrinks! they remained a good fit. During the recent heatwave I did find them tight to get on but otherwise no problem. I have never felt that they would ever come off while swimming. After almost daily use for 6 months they are as soft and supple as the day I bought them with no signs of rips or tears. Note: as with all products like these I never leave them in the sun as sunlight seems to affect the ‘plastic’. Traditional aqua shoes made of wet suit fabrics are awful in turbulent seas for filling with sand which grinds away at your feet. The design of these with perforations all over the upper surfaces seem to self clean. Just the odd piece of seaweed. The best part is that after use they only need a quick rinse under the hot tap, wipe dry and they are ready for use. Aqua / wet suit shoes require a lot of flushing with clean water after use and then take for ever to dry, sometimes still damp the next day and at worst start to smell. I would highly recommend these for anybody who needs to cross surfaces which are not barefoot friendly to get into the water. My only observation is the soles are quite thin. This is ideal as it makes the shoes very light and I forget I have them on when swimming but possibly they would not be ideal to walk long distances. If these ever need to be replaced I would automatically buy another pair.
