Q**K
Buy these shoes !!
When I tell you I love these shoes, please believe me! I wear a size 10 and these are true to size. No scrubbing heels easy on and off and so comfy I off forget to take them off... they fit like a glove. I had Merrells and these supercede those without question and for a fraction of the cost I could see myself getting others. I've even got compliments on them! These however do not have an excessively wide toe box like the whitin shoes do so if you have bunion issues or feet prone to swelling these may not be the best option. Also,I have a high but flexible arch that I assume became flexible because as soon as the weather warms up, I rarely wear shoes at all. If you have a rigid arch that doesn't compress when you stand on it these may not be the best option for you...but I'm in love... but them

Light weight and comfortable
Comfortable and easy to get on and off. Doesn’t have much arch support though. Sizing is accurate.

Love it
These are the best. I wear them and my feet don't hurt. I wish it were warmer outside so I could wear them every day.

Good quality, reasonable price
Good quality thin soled water shoe with removable insole than can be used for casual walks. I would not use for hiking but for around the house or beach, they work great. Shoes have drain holes in bottom.

More than I expected
Went on an intermediate hike in Puerto Rico where sharp rocks is everywhere you step, felt very comfortable and so glad I got this! Even my tour guide wanted to know where I got these shoes from.

Uncomfortable
I like zero drop shoes. But these have a strange fit...toe box is nicely wide, but the sole is structured in an odd way, thus forcing the foot into an uncomfortable position. Returned.

Love these shoes! I needed something that could be worn in the house, basement and on the deck as the floors get cold and I don't like walking barefoot or in slippers. These shoes are lightweight and feel almost barefoot-like. This style may not be for everyone but I am used to these as I had a pair of brand name outdoor runners just like these. They fit true to size and look really cute. The quick lace-up toggle is perfect for slipping these on and off easily. The soles were comfy enough but I tend to remove them and add my own insoles. My only concerns with this product is that it starts to compete with better known brand names at this price point, especially during sales. And for the amount of money, it would have been nice if it came in a box or reusable carry bag. Not able to gift these if I wanted to without repackaging them in a new box. Overall, I'd still recommend these if you are looking for a super lightweight summer shoe!

For $107.40 (when I ordered these), I was expecting these shoes to arrive in a proper shoe box. They didn’t. They arrived without any fanfare in a cheap plastic ziplock bag. This made me disappointed and skeptical in terms of the quality of the shoes. However, trying the shoes on, they look so cute on my feet! They are extremely lightweight and flexible. If you remove the inserts in the shoes (which is easy to do - it actually looks fairly cheap when you peer inside the shoes), you realize that there are actually holes in the soles of the shoes for water to drain out. This makes them great as swim shoes/shoes to wear to the beach…But would I want to wear them when there are rain puddles (or gross Canada Goose poop - those miserable creatures have become my sworn enemies) all around for me to step in? Probably not. So dirty! (I shudder at the thought of gunk getting stuck inside the holes on the soles of these shoes!) I typically wear a size 7 in Women’s shoes and these fit with my toes butting up against the front edge. It’s not necessarily uncomfortable as these aren’t really meant to be worn with thick socks and the upper material has a bit of stretch to it…..But they are a bit snug and I wish I’d sized up half a size to 7.5 Women so that my toes could wiggle a bit more freely. In terms of comfort, the shoe, itself, feels comfortable due to the flex and lightweightedness…but I find that there are some rough, scratchy areas that seem to make the tops of my feet itch from where it scratches against my skin. I suppose the solution may be to wear very thin socks with these. But the scratchiness is definitely something to note, I think. While I’ve worn these for a few minutes inside my house so far, I haven’t worn them outside for any REAL walks just yet (since my right foot is currently recovering from an injury that makes it uncomfortable for me to press down on it right now)…So when I mention “comfort”, I’m definitely not suggesting just yet that these are necessarily comfortable enough to walk around in in the real world….I simply don’t know just yet. I just mean that they are comfortable on my feet when I’m not moving. I do wonder about the cheap-looking inserts, though, and how well they’ll hold up… I’ve seen a TON of listings on Amazon for barefoot shoes that look EXACTLY like these ones (at least, to my untrained eye). It made me wonder if there was a “real” or “original” brand for this style…and whether these are just cheap knock-offs in comparison. Without trying the others, I really don’t know……But a search on Amazon makes me think that the “real” brand might be “Hike Footwear” (those shoes have the “HF” logo printed on the shoe inserts and on the front tab), with these “AWFIE” ones being generic knock-offs….It’s too bad that I’m not going to buy a pair of the Hike Footwear ones so that I can compare the quality… Note: In the Amazon photos, you’ll notice that they show the shoes as having green inserts. These actually come with WHITE-coloured inserts (as shown in my photos)… Do I think these are worth over $100? Absolutely not. $50? Nope. Much lower than that, I think… Do I like them (so far)? I do! As I said, they’re lightweight and look super cute on my feet! But there’s still the itchiness and I’m just not sure about the quality and whether they will hold up in the long run.

I was surprised at how lightweight and flexible these shoes feel on my feet, slipping on easily and giving a barefoot sensation while still offering a bit of protection. The wide toe box lets my toes move freely and the upper material stretches just enough for comfort, though some areas can feel a little scratchy against my skin. Removing the inserts reveals drainage holes, which makes them handy for water activities, but I’m hesitant to wear them in puddles or dirty outdoor areas. Fit runs snug, so sizing up might help my toes feel less cramped. Elastic laces make them easy to adjust and the grip on the sole feels reliable on smooth surfaces. They aren’t designed for heavy hiking or long-distance running, but they work well for casual walks, gym workouts, or lounging around. Overall construction looks okay but some parts feel cheap, so I’m unsure how long they’ll last with frequent use. They pack small for travel or storage.

I recently ordered these shoes in the colour white, women size 7. They were well packaged. Shipping took almost 3 weeks. I usually wear a size 6.5 shoe but, since these don't come in half sizes, I sized up to a 7. They fit my feet perfectly so if you are between sizes, size up. These are actually quite cute which I didn't expect, ordered them for their benefits and not the style or aesthetics so I was happy about this!! The white is accentuated with pink stripes that have a bit of sparkle. These are very, very lightweight and super comfortable to wear. As someone who is always barefoot, these give me a bit of support and protection. The non slip sole is thin and ventilated so I still feel like I'm barefoot which I prefer. The upper part of the shoes are comprised of a super lightweight mesh material with a wide toe box. The lace closure is elasticized so they are very easy to put on, take off and adjust according to your foot. I really like this option as I have arthritis and my feet change daily due to swelling etc. I've only recently heard of grounding/barefoot shoes and it piqued my interest. I'm glad I ordered these and have been wearing them daily since receiving them. They certainly aren't intended for walking outdoors, hiking, running etc. as they don't have a lot of support but they are great for wearing around the house. I'm quite happy with this reasonably priced product!!

These are nice water shoes that are good for the beach, whether sand or rock. They have a nice, firm, thick sole that gives good stability when walking on uneven surfaces. Yet, they are flexible to allow for great comfort. They are basically like spongy running shoes that are built for the water. The material is soft on top and firm on the soles. The laces are at a good tension to allow room for flexibility, and you can cinch them tighter if you are swimming or in moving water. I am normally a size 9 men's (EU 42), and these fit me fine. I'm happy with this product.
