We wore these shows on our trip up north West Australia on the Gibb River road hiking to all the gorges and on the Dampier peninsula fishing off rocks. We praised the shoes every day we wore them. Really great for Karijini national park gorge walking. Super comfortable and unbreakable!

Christmas gift for the wife. I DID GOOD. She loves them !!
Lisa M.
Awesome shoes! I do a lot of beach walking and they’re exactly what I was looking for.
Tiffaney M.
I've been looking for a good water shoe for some time. I love how light these shoes are and that the water drains out. Sturdy enough to walk on barnacle-covered rocks and comfy when swimming. Would buy again!
Janie T.
My shoes did not come over month, was not looking forward but when I open up my shoes it was so light n it a bit tight on my legs. When for a walk try if, see it will lose up a bit, I was surprise this shoes is so comfortable to walk on for over 3k walk & I can't wait to try hike on sand beach.
mark d.
still havent arrived. Hoping to have them soon. Bloody covid
Karen P.
Tried them while picking up petoskey stones along Lake Huron, worked well while walking on small and large rocks.

We love these shoes so much we purchased a second pair. Check out our video about these shoes - https://youtu.be/ciCBgjk3RTc

I can not say enough positive about Aleader! Amazing and personal customer service and the shoes are wonderful quality. I took a chance and ordered a pair after watching a review on YouTube. They arrived quickly and were a saving grace on my recent vacation. From swimming to playing on the beach to exploring they kept my feet protected and happy. I broke my knee last year and thanks to these shoes I was able to provide my body enough support to stand up paddle board (they even match my board!). If you are looking for an all around great adventure shoe get these and you won't be disappointed.
PS: everyone I was with was so impressed they ordered pairs too!

Color is beautiful! I’ve got super high arches (and therefore a high bridge on both feet) so I’m hoping the elastic around the ankles won’t stretch out with the on and off process but so far they’re lovely in terms of comfortability.
Michael M.
Fit is a little larger than my shoe size, but still very comfortable. Water drains out quickly and the shoes dry fast, keeping my feet dry and comfy.
Lisa E.
Great water shoe! These are my second pair and I will buy more! Light but sturdy and does great in the water and keeps me from slipping on the boat!
Alex P.
Bought for my wife, she loves them when taking the kids down to the lake or river.
Ann B.
These water shoes are amazing. Perfect fit. So light and comf9rtable.
Nicole K.
Fantastic shoes, I wear them everywhere they are so comfortable I bought a second pair
Valerie K.
Super comfortable
Live on a lake and use them to kayak
Marilyn G.
I just started learning how to row on the water and these shoes have been fantastic for getting in and out of the boat. Secure yet easy to slip out of once on the water. Very happy with these shoes, great purchase!
Meg E.
The shoes are great... bummer that the women’s sizes are too narrow for my feet.
I’m unhappy with customer service.
I’ve sent two emails over 10 days requesting return instructions/labels (no return info was packed in the box). No response.
I recall reading that returns were painless. So far, that’s not my experience!
In addition, the box contained a gift note for someone else. Weird
The only other option for contacting Aleader on their site is to mail a letter. No phone number is offered.
Guess I’ll be writing a letter next. Not happy .
John F.
Awesome shoes!
So light and cool, that I wear them around even when I’m not in the water.
Diana V.
Feels light, doesn’t slip off while walking in the river like most water shoes come off. Water drains fast and dries fast. Feels comfortable. Good support on bottom of shoes.
Lynda P.
I love my a leaders; have put on the lavenders everyday soon September. People ask me where I got them and I tell them all the things I like about them. I like not wearing socks. I like the comfort and go everywhere type of shoe. They're beautiful an extremely indescribable. That's why I bought three more pair.
Sarah P.
I bought these shoes for fishing, kayaking, and hiking in areas where there are a lot of water features during the warmer months here on the East Coast. As soon as I put these shoes on I knew that they were going to be full-timers instead of just for outdoor excursions! They don't weigh anything and are incredibly cool (both in the way they look and the way they feel) and I wear them everyday now! I have been a dedicated Chaco wearer for years but would sometimes have issues with the lack of protection so now I have an awesome pair of shoes that will allow me to have a little bit more confidence when wading or hiking! Couldn't be happier with these--I even sent a pair to my mother-in-law in order to spread the Aleader joy! Highly recommend!
Noor K.
Perfect fit and true to size. Perfect for the river or any water activities and the color is the same as the picture. Definitely recommend! It dries out so quickly too!
Shah J.
I did not get GRAY/BEIGE/KNIT, I got different color Blue/sky, they are nice and very good
I like them

Vicky B.
I ordered these for a cruise we are going on in the future, so I haven't tried them at the beach yet. However I couldn't wait to try them on when they came. So comfortable, I am excited to try them out in wter!
Kristen E.
These shoes rock! Nice and light weight, comfortable and secure.
Arline K.
Love the shoe...great quality and comfort. Super fast delivery. Would definitely recommend.
Diane K.
I have not received my shoes yet.
Donna W.
Great for kayaking! Also comfortable enough for bike riding!
Melanie C.
I already a pair of Aleador water shoes and ordered a pair for my mother for the holidays. Love the shoes but the shipping process was extremely disappointing. Placed the order the last week of december and just received the shoes today 1/21. Shipping stated 5-7 business days when purchased and a week later received a notification that the order was being processed out of China and it would take 2-4 weeks. This should be stated during the ordering process and not after a week of waiting for my item.
Karen G.
I am taking my first cruise ever in April of 2020 with my family for my son's wedding. At first I was consumed with anxiety, so I went to YouTube and found Alisa and Jason Myatt at EECC Travels in Louisiana. Your shoes came very highly recommended from Alisa so I decided to try them. I LOVE the design and I was very happy to find an all white water shoe that can double as a sneaker, one less thing to carry on excursions. I have a hard time with fit and comfort due to bunions and corns, but the fit is PERFECT! We are in the middle of winter here in NH right now, so I can't try them at the beach without freezing, but I'm sure they will be as awesome in the sand and water as Alisa says they are. Give EECC Travels some kudos for helping you make this sale. I will be ordering another pair for my daughter, as soon as she can pick a color. Thank you so much for being an awesome company.

Iris E.
Lightweight, comfortable, easy to dry
Jennifer C.
These are my first pair and I just love them.
A fantastic company. Excellent communication, and they arrived fairly quick to me in Australia. They did not have my size in the shoes I ordered, so they offered to send me the more expensive version at no extra cost. I happily accepted.
I am a swim teacher and need good grip and cushioning for my feet as I have Morton's Neuroma.
The shoes have been fantastic. So comfortable and no drag at all when walking through the water and they drain so quickly when you get out.
We had a whole centre evacuation and it was hot. I just walked outside without a worry for myself, just the little kids.
My daughter is a swim teacher and I am going to get her a pair too even though we have the same size feet I don't want to share my fabulous shoes.
Connie R.
The water shoes were so comfortable! We were so glad we got them for our Disney trip, especially since it rained 3 days! Highly recommend them!!
Suni S.
I wear a 9.5 in regular athletic shoes and the 9 fits great! Very lightweight and comfortable. Taking with us on a cruise.
valerie k.
Great water shoes and so much more ... the only bad thing is if the shoes are wet and ur foot is in them walking around your feet to hurt because they get pruned and like sore .. I would buy another pair hands down.. if your at the beach after they get wet just take them off to dry and you can put them on your dry foot and it will be fine
Cynthia N.
I would have given five stars but it was rubbing on my left heal a bit on my first wear.
Allison W.
Lightweight and stylish. These shoes will be perfect for all my outdoor adventures.
Dawn R.
Comfortable from the first time on my feet. The was very good.
Stuart T.
The shoes are so comfy we traveled the carabiean islands with 3 pairs... love the shoe... so light and cool.
Lisa M.
Loved them!!! Light as a feather!!
Christina T.
I bought these to go on a cruise and wore them almost the entire time. They are so comfortable and easy to slip on and off. Will definitely recommend these to my friends and family.
Sandy D.
When these shoes arrived I was thrilled with them. They were beyond my expectation. Although I have not worn them yet, our Tahiti trip is in November, I just know they will be perfect in the water as well as on the ship in the fitness room. They are classy enough to wear out touring as well. I’m looking forward to seeing how they are in the water.
Francesca D.
It is so nice to have a water shoe that looks great with my beach and hiking outfits. I really didn't like the clunky or overly sporty look of other water shoes, my aleader's are just a cute, casual sneaker but made for fun!
Heather K.
The fit is perfect, they dry quickly. Easy to clean
Nancy H.
I am very glad I bought Aleader shoes for my boyfriend and I. The shoes provide an exceptionally lightweight feel, excellent bounce-back and durability. We were able to surf in rocky water, hike in muddy paths, and snorkel with them in Hawaii. Plus, the shoes are very confortable and stylish at the same time.
Jasmin L.
My husband and I went for a trip to Broome, a beautiful beach side town in Australia's Northwest.
We both bought a pair of shoes and loved how versatile and stylish they were. From beach to rock pools and bars, we love our new favourites.
Ember F.
These were perfect for an amateur kayaking trip down a river! They provided me with enough protection, but still had the perfect size and amount of holes for debris to be washed out while I was still wearing them. Yes, you will probably pick up some sand from time to time, but it will wash out. They also seem pretty durable and I look forward to wearing them many more times in the future!
Nia T.
Love this shoe. More comfortable, than other water shoes, I have had in the past.
Would purchase these shoes again.
Trinity W.
I LOVE these water shoes. Fit perfectly & drained water exactly as expected. I wore them in the river on a rafting day. My favorite part of them is the thicker sole. More like a tennis shoe but with drainage holes in the bottoms. The extra support was awesome and the thickness made it easier when we stepped on larger rocks as the really thin water shoes can’t protect against those. Really kept my feet from getting poked from the rocks. I highly recommend these!
Zoe H.
Best water shoes I’ve purchased thus far. As an aquatics instructor, it was important that these shoes didn’t weigh me down/feel heavy and provided great support and foot protection. These do it all. Highly recommend these for anyone who is in and out of the pool all day long.
Fiona G.
Super thankful that I read a review to buy these before snorkeling in caves/visiting Cancun/water park. My friends all ended up buying shoes in Cancun and they were worse quality/more expensive.
I'll be keeping these for lots of water events in the future. They stay on well, protect your feet, and dry quickly. I wore them for a couple of full days without issue.
Calista D.
Very comfortable shoes!
Carter L.
These were so much more comfortable than I anticipated them to be. They are also very cute compared to so many other water shoes I have seen out there. I use them every weekend to go explore creek beds and have never had a problem. They are sturdy, comfortable, cute, non-slip and no sign of wear and tear.
Artemis G.
Best shoes ever! I enjoyed them on Cyclades Regatta, had not even a slight slip, not ever a fear walking on deck, they kept their scheme even after hours of sailing with waves hitting them!
Stylish and comfortable when walking on the narrow pebble streets of Greek Islands. Above all, I had the best customer experience with Aleader when my initial order was out of stock and offered me cost free this excellent (and more expensive) pair of shoes! This company rocks! Keep on!!
Theda K.
So comfortable, This is my first pair and I love them!
Shelon D.
From the beach to the boat, these water shoes were perfect and the best purchase we made.
Shelley D.
Loved the color but wished they had my size in stock. Ended up going with another brand.
Petunia B.
Comfortable and would purchase again.
Lynn .
these shoes are perfect. My go to St Louis Cardinals comfy shoe. A must for my fishing experiences.
Abhishek .
Light weight and fir perfect.
Vanessa N.
The water shoes fit perfect and they look very nice when walking around. They were excellent as slip protection on wet tile area around pool and protected my feet when walking on beach.
Janice t.
Very comfortable water shoe with much better sole than normal neoprene water shoes. These are actually very comfy to walk around in, and will great for kayaking.
Josette B.
I absolutely love these water shoes! They are cute and comfortable. I wear them for AquaFit classes and they are so light weight I forget I have shoes on. I would definitely purchase again.
Brandi B.
These water shoes are awesome. They look like regular shoes. We are boaters and they work great in the water and out.
Jill D.
Very good quality beach shoe that is also comfortable. Most important factor is that they dry quickly. My friend ordered the black and they looked really nice.
Maila L.
I love this! It’s pretty, comfortable and everyone at work thinks they are cute. I’m thinking about getting it in different color
Cindy L.
These are INCREDIBLE and look like sleek running shoes. I got so many compliments when in Maui. I even use them to run around town. They are super comfortable and light.
Linda H.
These shoes are very comfortable and the fit was as expected. I think they will be wonderful at the lake this summer. So much better than flip flops!
Carolede m.
Love these! Lightweight, breathable, and comfortable! Would order more colors. Enough room for a wide foot.
Michele B.
I liked that the sand and water seemed to wash out while I was at the beach. I also liked that I didn't have any stubbed toes or injuries while walking around on coral rocks in the Bahamas with these. They are comfortable and do a good job.
Sue W.
I use these kayaking great shoe, comfortable, dries quickly. No left with that awful smell that often comes from water shoes. I love them.
Celina H.
I love these shoes! These shoes are so comfortable, and good quality! They're very light, yet durable. I will buy them again.
Maria Norcia .
It's a good choice. I am using them to walk on the beach (sand/salt water) and they are very comfortable, easy to slip on, and easy to rinse.
carolina d.
I bought these for my daughter, who is a very picky teenager and she absolutely loves the design and I love how they don’t trap water in the shoe sole so it is a win-win
Dray c.
I'm extremely happy with these shoes. They are so lightweight and comfortable. I started using them to walk around the house because we have hardwood floors and this lessens the blow. Highly recommend! Also they are very easy to clean!
Kawaii h.
I am so in love with these shoes. They are super light weight and hard soles but still super flexible on the soles to walk on uneven and slippery surfaces under water. The best part is even when they are went they don’t rub the back of my heel raw like normal water shoes. These are my new go toO shoes for lake camping and fishing!
Rachel W.
Took these on a river rafting trip and they worked great. Fit well, didnt slip off, and looked nice. Only issue was the bottom had a love of grooves and "holes" for water to escape and thus I had a ton of river rocks lodged in them. Super annoying to get all the rocks out.
Diego W.
I use these for my water walking daily and they are the most comfortable water shoes I have ever worn. I am about to order another pair. They fit well, they dry quickly and have a good grip for walking in the pool. I can’t think of anything I don’t like about them except I wish they came in more colors.
Jeanette .
I loved this product. I could put them on easily. The had a good amount of support and were quite comfortable. They look like regular tennis shoes.
Grace P.
Very comfortable! We went from beach swimming to tourist sight seeing and these were so comfortable for both! The insoles don’t slide out like the typical swim shoes, and they stay in well in the water. My daughter and I both loved these!
Samantha B.
Fantastic! Best water shoes i have ever had!
Naomi F.
Very lightweight shoes. I worn this to recent international travels and glad that I had it. I've worn it walking around during my travels and so far it's holding up. I plan on using this over the summer for the beach, pool, hiking and other outdoor activities.
Charlotte S.
The water shoe is perfect for me in style, comfort and overall use.
Melanie J.
Wow! I just opened up my package and put these on and I am so surprised how wonderful they feel. Super lightweight and super comfy. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly. I love that they have the laces that cinch for a more snug fit. It almost feels like I’m barefoot. Love these! I can’t wait to try them out at the lake.
Abigail D.
Purchased these for a trip where we participated in a lot of water activity and they worked great, looked cute and were comfortable. Didn’t come in half sizes and ended up having to go a size down because 7’s ran big but 6 worked well. Thought they fit a little wide but I have a narrow foot. Love these and take to the beach all the time.
Elizabeth L.
This is my second pair-I use them for paddling-nonslip and they dry quickly-love the colors they match my kayak!
Mary R.
I like these sneakers a lot.
I wore them all day and walked a lot and my feet never bothered me at all.
Since I have a problem with foot pain and leg pain, it was lovely to enjoy walking and not have any pain at all.
I know they are advertised as swim shoes but I wore them to an art museum and they looked nice and felt great.
Amanda S.
Love these! Super cute and easy to clean! Fast shipping too.
Holly C.
These light weight water shoes worked well. I loved being able to hike in them and walk right into/through the water with no issues. Others were changing between hiking and water shoes. People with sandals (Tevas) ended up with blisters. My husband had a different type of water shoes and said he felt every rock he walked over. These had great traction and my feet didn’t slip around in them. No blisters. No problem up and down cliffs and ladders to Mooney falls. The one thing I really thought could be better was the mesh which makes the upper of the shoe. The holes in the mesh were big enough that gravel got in easily. Lucky they are slip on so I could take them off easily (and frequently) to get the gravel back out.
Stephanie T.
We wore these everywhere in Maui! Well worth it.
Ashley P.
For years I've been suffering with my old swim shoes and decided I'm done with the pain and bought these! When I got them I put them on and used them as my walking shoes for a week before heading to the beach. My friends freaked out when they saw me run into the water with these suckers on because they just assumed it was normal shoes. At the beach, the shoe was amazing! It dried quickly and it was fairly easy to get all the sand out which is an impressive feat to me. I continue to use them as walking shoes because they're surprisingly comfortable!
Alyssa E.
During my water aerobics class, I got terrible blisters on my toes. I quickly bought a cheap pair of swim shoes from a store and did not like them. They were hard to dry, held water in the shoe, and were just plain ugly. Found these shoes online and was skeptical, because the price seemed pretty decent. But I love these shoes. They fit well, have a removable insole (I guess for wearing in the sand or on concrete) and they dry nicely. They are airy and light and pretty, to boot (pun intended).
Madison W.
Fit and stay on
Katie H.
These shoes protected my feet on the sharp rocks and mussel shells when I walked the beaches of Puget Sound’s inlets. Very comfortable. I would wear these all day. Very stylish, too.
Amberlyn K.
I love that they’re sturdy and can be used all day! I used these on my trip to Costa Rica. I also packed my tennis shoes and never even wore them because these shoes are so versatile. The sole is more of a sturdy foam so they aren’t best for slippery surfaces but not many things are. The insoles can be taken off for quicker drying. The only complaint I have which is something that actually drew me to purchase these are the mesh sides. They help make the shoe look like a sport shoe but they’re sewn at 3 sides so if you’re in a sandy place the mesh just holds the sand/rocks and has to be rinsed out after taken off.
Anna K.
I bought these for aqua aerobics. Fit well with good support. Help prevent pounding on my knee replacements. I feel a big difference in wearing.
Jade B.
As far as water shoes go, these are top notch! They are extremely comfortable and felt great from the get-go!
