My kids had a summer camp at a place with a splash pad, and they were required to wear closed toe shoes on the splash pad. We have bought other water shoes for they either complain that they rubbed after a while or they complained that they couldn’t get them off easily once their foot was wet. However, this one with the Velcro strap over the top makes it easier to get off on their own once their foot is wet in the middle of the camp day. It also doesn’t slide around and create blisters, as they are running and playing at the splash pad. We did have to order a size smaller than their normal shoe size, though.My son loves it! Light weight and comfortableFelt good for safe walking in CatalinaKids wore these all day in the beach and pool with no complainsI wasn’t sure these shoes would work for my 10 yr son but he loves them. They protect his feet on the pebbly sandy beach and rise out beautifully. Holes are large enough to release the water but soles is grippy/strong enough to allow for walking and running on a rough shore. Can’t recommend them more.I like these shoes. We were looking for water shoes that the inside fabric on the shoe pad doesn’t come off which makes it uncomfortable.These didn’t and they’re very comfy and wide in the front.These far exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent and after 2 months they look brand new with regular use. One of my kids is extra hard on shoes and they're still standing up to the wear. They are comfortable and the adjustable strap helps keep them from falling off feet. Really great and highly recommended.I ordered two pairs of these shoes for my son last year, and I've ordered two pairs this summer as well. My son is currently wearing a size 2.5-3 in Plae shoes but he's able to wear a size 3 in these without them slipping off but with plenty of room to grow into. This part of the review refers to the navy and orange style (See update#2 below for specifics on the blue with glow in the dark sole):The good is that they are stylish, comfortable and easy to put on for kids with wide feet. They are lightweight enough for my son to wear in the pool, but also have enough traction on the bottom for playing in the splash pad and climbing on water slides at camp. They work well for the beach too, but the sand is hard to clean out.The bad is that first pair I bought last year got fuzzy from putting them in the dryer. I'd need to dry them, because my son's wet swim stuff would come home from camp and need to be washed and dried for the next day and air-drying wasn't always quick enough. So this year, I plan to buy two pairs to rotate.Update #1 (7/1/2021): The navy and orange water shoes are holding up pretty well this summer. They are still the easiest to get on/off that I've found. My son has gotten more than 10 uses out of them so far, and they are still in good condition. There is still a small amount of fuzz with air-drying, but it blends in on the navy color and can be carefully trimmed off. See the picture, and note that it is a closeup so it's less noticeable in person. I bought another major brand of water shoe, which cost a bit more, and those also have some wear after similar usage.Update #2 (7/1/2021): I guess I can't write multiple reviews for the same product listing, but I ended up buying a slightly different style from the same listing as my alternate pair for this summer. The blue with glow in the dark soles caught my eye, and I have to say that I love these and highly recommend them.I kinda debated between whether they were cool or a bit cheesy, but my son loves space and I think they are a fun style for a kid. He's not up much past dark, so I doubt we will get much use out of the glow in the dark but I also like the green color of the soles. And, they do faintly glow in a very dark room! More along the lines of glow in the dark clothing than the stylized listing photos.They are still very easy to put on and take off, but not quite as easy as the navy and orange style. So far after 5 plus uses the material looks perfect, and it's even a little bit softer than the other style. I'll update if there are any changes, but I think these might be the best water shoes I've found. And, I have tried quite a few different brands and types of water shoes for my son.
