SAGUARO Water Shoes Mens Womens Aqua Shoes for Sailing Surf Fishing Swimming Footwear Quick Drying Lightweight,Gr.2.5-13
Purchased for an upcoming holiday where we are doing some waterports that require footware to be worn. I am usually a size 10 UK, I don’t understamd why this size is not offered – 9.5 or 10.5 so i took a punt on the larger. They look great and feel really comfortable on the foot. The soles feel sufficiently grippy. After trying them on they were a little too big and felt too loose on the heel, so had to return. Ordered a 9.5 UK and they fitted much better. Theure not waterproof, as in they won’t keep your feet dry, they are designed to allow water to drain out quickly with drainage holes in the soles and a breathable mesh style fabric that is double layered so should help prevent sand, grit and stones entering the shoe. Overall very happy and will update after our holiday regarding durability and comfort on the beach etc.
Really comfy
Brought these for my up coming holiday. Really pleased with them. Tried them on and they fit really well. Brought a 6.5 and I am a 7 and they fit well. Wore them around the house and they and sturdy and very comfortable. No tried them yet in the water but I’m sure they will be ok
Comfortable and sturdy
I’ve been using these for kayaking mostly and walking on pebbles at beaches after swimming. They are comfortable. My only problem is the suede material at the back/heel. Odd choice for water product, mine had some mould spots on that part of them after being out of use for a month or so, I’d recommend drying them fully before storing them to avoid this.
I wanted to buy some Crocs for walking to and from the beach and for rock pooling with my kids. Obviously Crocs look naff but my argument was if they are good enough for Ed Stafford to walk the amazon in then they would be good enough for me. My wife saud to buy some shoes that stay on your feet even in the water as we paddleboard too. So I did some research and found these on Amazon. I thought they’d be uncomfortable and would give me blisters But….
They are bloomin brilliant! Instanty comfortable even when wet. The drain holes on the soles mean you can walk in pools of water without any issues and they look way better than Crocs. These are one of those purchases that stay with you and make you really happy. Well done wife!
Very good
These wet shoes are fairly decent, I have wide feet normally size 11, so I ordered that size. They were a snug fit on the width which is fine but are a little long as there was a space cm or 2 in length. Luckily that doesn’t affect usage. And for the price they are very good
These water shoes cost more than the cheap ones you can buy at seaside shops however if you are planning on using them for more than a few days it is worth paying the extra.
I do regular exercise in the sea, so between 30 mins to 120 mins maybe 5 x per week and these are my third pair. They last for 6 – 9 months approx, which given that I do running and water aerobics in the sea rather then swimming, is impressive. I subject these shoes to a fair amount of abuse and they take it really well. The pair I bought before these are just starting to fall apart after several months of running, kicking and jumping in the sea. They handle occasional rocks and stones with ease and have protected my toes from injury on countless occasions. They are very lightweight and comfortable given the level of protection they offer. They should fit snuggly otherwise they may rub.
They provide a degree of protection from cold and are extremely lightweight, much more so then the cheaper shoes and are comfortable to wear walking across sandy and rocky beaches.
For context the cheaper water shoes I used to buy would last for one month at the most.
I never exercise in swimming pools so cannot comment on how they cope with chlorine
Obviously it is important to wash salt water off the shoes ASAP after exercising in the sea. I wash mine in a 40% wash with my towels and swimming costume and I suspect that it may be possible to extend the life of the shoes if you wash them at a lower temperature.
The other great thing about them is that they are a fraction of the weight of cheaper water shoes so are much easier to carry around after your dip. The holes in the soles allow water to run away quickly and they dry very quickly in the sun.
Just one word of caution for those exercising in rivers and wild swimming – the shoes have a toggle closure on an elasticated lace that could potentially catch on tree branches or other hidden objects leading to problems if left trailling from the shoe. Always tuck the lace into the criss-crossed laces in the shoes for safety if swimming or exercising in the wild, especially important if exercising alone.
I would recommend these shoes highly
