G2RISE Quick-Dry Water Shoes – Beach, Pool & Sports-Black Blue

These beach shoes are really something different. For me, they are a welcome alternative to 'crocs' (which I'm not a fan of'. The size 8, my regular size, fit me well and are very comfortable to wear.

They have a robust sole, which stands up to rocks/ stones on the beach, whilst the shoes protect the feet. The insole is soft and removable to assist in the drying process. There are holes in the bottom of the sole to let water in and out. The shoes are breathable, lightweight and dry quickly. It's very easy to slip the shoes on and off, with no fussy laces to tie up.

I live near the coast and I often have sand in my trainers and wet feet and socks. The idea of these is that you wear them barefoot, water and sand get in, and your feet get wet. However, it also gets out and the shoes soon dry again. They retain less sand also and, because they dry quickly, it's easy to soon shake out any remaining sand. They are unlike trainers in construction in that they are made of a thinner, yet robust kind of fabric and are lightweight.

These water shoes are a stretchy upper fabric like a thick water sock. The sole is a flexible but much more rigid rubber. Recommend sizing down slightly because the upper will stretch and they can get very loose. The 'laces' are stretchy and can be tightened. Overall, pretty decent pair of water shoes for a good price.Product named "G2RISE Water Shoes Woman Men, Quick Dry & Breathable Barefoot Shoes for Beach, Pool, Sports, Surf & Swim White"

LOOK: These are sleek and stylish. Since they're black, I'd imagine they'd go with everything.SIZE: True to size! I am a 5.5 and got the 5.5, fits like a sock!QUALITY: These feel durable! With a hard bottom sole.COMFORT: As a sock-wearer, it was weird for me not to wear socks with these. But they ARE breathable! I can feel the wind through them. They are lightweight and comfortable. Ease of use: Slip on and GO!I've worn them to run errands and on walks and they are GREAT.BIGGEST CON: The left ankle rubs. I wore it all day without bleeding or blistering. But it did leave a pink mark, enough for me to reach for a bandaid the next day. (I still wore them the next day, just with the bandaid. That's how much I like them.)VALUE FOR THE MONEY: Good. I see myself wearing these on my daily walks (even if I have to put on a bandaid). There's something so easy and effortless about these. No socks? No Problem!TRAVEL FRIENDLY: They roll up very well!

Very happy with this pair of water shoes. The she’s fit great and were very comfortable. The mesh material on top of the shoe is soft and form fitting. Overall the shoes feel light weight. The solid bottoms make walking on debris or across the pavement easy. I was really happy with the feel and fit of these shoes. Comes with a mess carry bag. I would definitely recommend

I picked these up for beach and lake days, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well they perform. The thick rubber soles provide solid grip and protect against sharp rocks, shells, and uneven ground—perfect for lakes with rocky bottoms. I never felt like I was slipping, even in slimy areas.Fit-wise, they run true to size, though if your toes sit right at the edge, going up half a size might be more comfortable. They’re snug enough to stay on in the water but flexible enough to slip off and on easily thanks to the pull tab at the back. The material is soft and stretchy, and they never rubbed or caused blisters during hours of wear.The drainage system is one of the standout features. Water flows out quickly through the sole holes instead of pooling inside, so they dry much faster than older water shoes I’ve used. They’re also lightweight and pack down small—great for travel since they take up almost no space in luggage.I chose the white color knowing they’d look sharp, but I don’t expect them to stay pristine for long, especially with rocky terrain. Still, they clean easily after use, and the included pouch is a nice bonus for keeping them separate from other items in my bag.✅ Pros:Excellent sole grip and protection from sharp rocksComfortable, snug fit with soft interiorQuick-draining and fast-drying designLightweight, foldable, and travel-friendlyStylish design that looks more like sneakers than basic water shoes⚠️ Cons:White color won’t stay spotless longUpper mesh feels thinner than the sole—may wear faster with heavy useBottom Line:These are far better than the old “sock-style” water shoes I used to buy. They feel protective like sneakers but stay lightweight and breathable. For the price, they’re a fantastic pick for the beach, pool, or lakeside adventures.
