These would be handy to have in your backpack just in case you forget to put your water-shoes or come across some unexpected water that needs to be crossed. There is padding on the bottom, but it wouldn't be enough for rock/pebble streams but better than nothing. The size range is to large. I am the upper end of the largest range, and these are uncomfortable but not if I'm trying to cover a rock covered stream if my only option is bare feet.

I took these to a Waterpark to keep from having to take my flip flops on and off. They feel OK but even after a light day of walking, I noticed some bad scuffs and looked as if parts of the crease were already starting to rip. I don't think it's a long term investment and I'll most likely have to get something else to replace it within a few more uses.

These water shoes are really nice and the fitting and feel on them was fantastic, they stayed on very well. My family and I were excited to receive them, however, we were disappointed because they started to fray quickly around different parts of the water shoe and one of the pairs even ripped around the toe area. My family and I were visiting Wisconsin Dells for 3 days and as you can see they didn't hold up against the rough pool bottoms. The pictures were taken after the first day of use.

I ordered the largest pair for a size 12 men's. What I received was tiny. I would guess maybe a size 6. Package was torn, so it may not have been the original shoe in the package. The quality of the shoe was very nice and was exactly what I was hoping for if it would have fit.

I thought these were cute enough but I wore them and by the time we walked down to the beach my feet were killing me! I ordered a size smaller than my shoes because you want water shoes tight, but they were still too big. Also, the sole is non-existant... like thin sand paper... almost worse than being barefoot. And the soles are held in by little plastic pegs. So imagine walking on broken Legos on blacktop with sandpaper on your feet. I'll be posting these on my town's Gifting with Gratitude group and getting a decent pair elsewhere.

Got a couple of these and did NOT like them at all. Very flimsy sole. I have plantar fasciitis and you can feel every Lil thing you step on w these water socks. Nope . Can't do it. So I returned both pairs.

I was not very happy with the Aqua Socks. They ran a bit small, and were more expensive than I think they are worth.
