I bought these for my boyfriend in brown last year and he loves them so I looked for them for myself as I need a new pair of water
shoes to replace my rubber Natives (they shrunk plus they allow lots of pebbles and debris in). The color of these
shoes is way off from the photos. Think Fluorescent lime green, not the minty/turquoise color I see on my monitor. I'm an 8.5 in
shoes (although I usually prefer an 8 in sandals so I don't
end up with a lot of extra length at the toe), these are unisex and I won't be wearing socks with them so I ordered a
women's 8/
men's 7, the length is perfect and the footbed is supportive, firm and stable. I have a narrow heel and normal width foot - these fit great through the heel but have extra width for the ball of my foot and toes to wiggle around in. They feel like they'll be great for wading over river rock and stand up paddling. I am going to
keep them although the color is obnoxious because they are so comfortable (and
keep alive the matching water shoe streak my boyfriend and I have going - ha! just kidding). There is a bit of texture I feel on my soles from the mesh fabric and will update this review if I notice any problems with extended wear.
