What Customers Say
Customers say these water sandals offer excellent grip on wet surfaces and work well for boating and beach activities. Many appreciate the sturdy construction, attractive styling, and good fit. However, several users find the footbed quite hard with minimal cushioning, causing discomfort during extended wear. Common feedback includes that these sandals run small, with many recommending sizing up. While praised for their non-slip properties and durability, some customers note the toe strap can be rigid and cause blisters. Reviews are mixed on comfort, with some finding them perfect for all-day wear while others describe them as walking on hard plastic.

    The interior strap that goes between your toes very uncomfortable. I understand there's a break in. But I didn't feel like rubbing my skin raw because you think I should break it in. Seem comfortable except for the interior strap. I would purchase from Ulokai from now on sandals wise, which I have in the past. They were a good price, referring to Reef because of their 30% off Memorial Day savings.

    Thanks
