Speedo Men's Water Shoe Surfwalker Pro 3.0

I ordered these for an upcoming trip to Tulum, Mexico to be used when swimming around the cenotes. I'm a street size 8 and originally ordered the size 8 but when it arrived the length overshot my big toe by at least 3/4 inch. I ordered the size 7 and it fits perfectly. A bit snug but that's how water shoes should fit. When removing the shoe, the inside footbed slipped out but it's supposed to be removeable and can easily be slid back in so not a big deal. I'm a fan of Speedo gear generally (I have swim trunks in a matching blue) and these shoes look great. There's a lot of cheaper options available on Amazon but the negative reviews regarding the quality of those cheaper pairs is what would be expected so I stayed away from them and chose this instead. Hopefully paying a bit more for the Speedo brand and the related level of expected quality will stand the test of time, wear, and its intended purpose.------UPDATE (9/26/19):Tried these out at Sac Atun cenote (underground cave) in Mexico and these held up great. They were perfect for what I needed and very comfortable. Will be using these for all outdoor water adventures going forward and highly recommend!

I ordered these one size smaller than my normal shoe size and they fit perfect. They have really good grip on the soles. They are sleek and fairly comfortable for a water shoe.

Usually wear a size 7 1/2 shoe and have a somewhat wide foot. Because Speedo brands tend to run smaller than their advertised size, I ordered a size 8. The ankle fits appropriately snug, but the challenge is the length. The shoe almost (almost) feels like one is wearing diving fins. But they appear durable and well-made. I will update as one wears them throughout the coming summer months. Not that it matters, but the color "navy/blue" is a bit lighter than shown on the computer screen (if you're a stickler for that sort of thing).UPDATE: June 29, 2017: Wore the shoes for the first time. Was at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire during a pouring rain and thunder & lightening storm. Stayed off the beach, but walked on the boardwalk where there are food vendors, arcade amusements, gift shops, etc. The shoes did a good job of sloshing through the huge puddles on the pavement, but to my disappointment, there is NO ARCH SUPPORT. The shoes are flat on the inside. Thus, if you have fallen arches or flat feet, this product may feel uncomfortable for you.FINAL UPDATE: August 1, 2017: Finally got to the beach. It is difficult to walk on dry sand with them. In that respect, they are similar to wearing street shoes on dry sand. And sand does get inside them. In terms of drying, it takes longer than airing them out overnight for them dry completely. Closer to a full day before the Surfwalker becomes completely dry again.BOTTOM LINE: A solidly made, good product. Though the design has its flaws (please see above) they are worth one's hard-earned money.Final Grade: B.

This Speedo Surfwalker “Pro 3.0” is far better than their Surfwalker “Rush” boat show style with higher sides that traps water in the footbed. Speedo dries faster than competitors I have tried. Tip: angle it up rather than leave on ground. The fabric does not appear to have a UPF rating but I can see from my tanline it provides some sun protection, whereas most water shoes have holes and sunburning the top of your foot is a pain. The foam insole comes out to help it dry overnight or launder. The insole overlaps my orthotic but develops an annoying a wrinkles over time - Speedo might be improving this problem. The black heel rubber eventually wears and starts leaving black streaks on tile and then I replace. The white heel looks nicer upon purchase but stains so I would only buy if perhaps only for pools. Swimming in the ocean any shoe gives piece of mind to put your foot down. The sole is strong enough for the parking lot or a short traverses over lava racks. For more, I upgrade to surf boots, Keens or the like.

I had bought these shoes before at the local sports store. I use them as daily shoes. But I wanted a black pair. The store only had them blue and green. So, I bought them here at Amazon. This pair is just as good as the other one. They are so comfortable. They adjust to your foot completely. One of my heels is a little bit displaced due to flat feet. So, with regular walking shoes, it starts feeling uncomfortable after the heel of the shoe softens. But these shoes are always tight, in a relaxed way. It is like having gloves for your feet. Speedo makes great products. I have two Speedo bathing suits and they are very comfortable too.I have read reviews that claim that you can not put these shoes on because the opening is too narrow. It is true that it is narrow. However, if you slide the foot in and then with your finger you stretch it around your ankle, the material stretches and adapts.They are good for water, but once you use them in the water, the inner sole unglues and it does not stay fixed again. I just threw those inner soles away and inserted a Dr. Shoolls inner sole with arch. Now, when I am going in the water with them, I remove the Dr. Shoolls inner sole.

These shoes a great. I don't use them in the water; rather, I use them as normal shoes. A size 12 fits great, even with socks on as well (which I usually do). The shoes are durable and will not fall apart from daily use. I know other people talk about how these shoes fall apart after minimal use, but that is not the case. Their problem is simply manufacturing errors with their specific pair of these shoes. My pair have stayed together despite my nearly daily wear and regular walking over rough terrain, including dirt, grass, rocks, sticks, and leaves. I also drive while wearing these shoes, which also works well. Being that the shoes are lightweight, they provide good pedal feel. The shoes are also relatively comfortable. The insoles are somewhat squishy, but don't really do anything to improve or detract from the overall comfort of the shoe.
