Norbi Men's Outdoor Running Swimming Beach Light Aqua Water Shoes

I wear a men's 8.5 usually, so I ordered a size up to the XL size here (US 9-10). They are too small. Because there's really no wall or form to any part of the shoe except the sole, I can comfortably get my foot inside, but you can see my big toe looking like it'll tear a hole in the front. I expect if I walk around the beach like this, especially a short downhill hike to get to the water from my car, my toe will tear through the thin fabric in no time.It took so long to get them, though, that I don't want to return them and be without any water shoes for another few weeks.I'll update this post if they last through the summer. For what it's worth, other than the small size they are what you would expect, they feel like stretchy spandex socks with a bendable rubber sole. I think they are sized for women, but I can wear a women's size 9.5 in thin, athletic ankle socks from Tom's and walk around in them without issue, so I think these are just sized a little small.UPDATE:I've used these at least 7 times at the beach (about 15 hrs of use), walking over rocks, wood, etc and they haven't given out yet. I'm impressed, considering they felt so flimsy, my toe has been bulging at the tip the whole time, and most of these budget water shoes seem to fall apart the first day or two of use. I'd buy them again, a size up. I keep them in the car for impromptu beach days and they have saved my feet from hot sand and sharp plastic trash.

I wear an 8, the toes are snugged and since I have an ingrown that bothers me. They're cute and when I am wearing them the adjustment period is comfortable and protects my feet, since I always go bare foot.

This beach shoe is the BEST! I live near a beach that is mostly rocks, so walking barefoot is painful. These shoes felt like being barefoot, but no pain at all walking on the rocks and shells. Fit was snug and comfortable, and they have taken a beating without wear. No sand ever got in them, and I am now getting more for my family. Great beach shoes!

I like the shoe very much, but I ordered a different size. The size sent is too large. I would really love these shoes if the size had been what I had ordered. Feel the quality is good. I would reorder but there is no guarantee I'd get the correct size the second time round. So anyone thinking the shoe is too big, I think it is just the wrong size. The correctly ordered size would have been perfect. A bit disappointed, but I hate to send things back so will keep.

Runs smaller than the guide says. This was the second try which fits and wears well. Thank goodness for next day delivery.
