Great Hiking Shoe for Great Price

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020

I bought 2 pairs of these for my 19 yr old twins because we were going to Zion to hike the Narrows and of course, they only had Vans! They both liked the look and the feel of the shoe (and believe me when I say they are super picky). We hiked 11 miles in the river (over 8 hours) and while there may have been a few complaints, they were not about their shoes! These were well worth the money. Super good if you are going to hike in some terrain that includes water. Great price too!

Disappointed fit (around the house)

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020

I purchased these along with the L-RUN Athletic Hiking Water Shoes. I was in need of something to hike easy to moderate trails in Hawaii in search of waterfalls. I was really hopeful for the SOBASO due to their more rugged tread and the larger holes in the mesh. Unfortunately they didn’t fit as well walking around the house. As seen in the picture they required the bungee to be cinched down pretty tight, which caused overlapping of the mesh. The fit around the opening at the top of my foot was also loose. The biggest downside I found though was the heel. At the very back of the shoe the heel dips for some reason. I could definitely see this being an issue on uneven terrain or while walking through creeks and the heel slipping off.
The other shoe fit much better. More like a neoprene sock. I’m going to keep them and return these. I’ll write a more detailed review of those shoes after I’m able to get out and walk with them a bit.

I loved everything about this shoes; good grips for land and river walking, light weight, lots of cushioning for my feet when hiking on land and it held my feet firmly enough. I used this for a water hike through a river, climbed some big rocks and some dirt hills; all applications were successful. Great shoes guys.

I’m usually a size 8 and ordered a 7.5 and they fit perfect. So comfortable especially the soles. They are great quality for the price. I bought two pairs and might buy more. I wear these hiking and to trek through water.

Size: 9.5 Women/8 MenColor: All BlackVerified Purchase

I spend a lot of time surface rock hunting in Rivers, beaches and in the mountains. These are perfect for my nature adventures. I bought two pair one for my husband and we both love them. He wore his this past weekend camping and walking in the river. He said they were very comfortable. I agree these are the best water shoes I have ever purchased. I’m not even getting a bonus for writing this lol I am buying a couple more pair because every time I find something I love it discontinues and I dislike trying to find an equivalent. I would like to add I read some reviews with people not being pleased that there shoes didn’t last long. I haven’t walked in their shoes but I will say that although these are made well they are probably only going to last a season if your hiking and traipsing through water holes. That holds true for probably 90% of the water shoes on the market so don’t listen to Karen or Richard I think you will love these.

This is a good shoe for river Exploration and walking

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020

Size: 9.5 Women/8 MenColor: Navy BlackVerified Purchase

We spend a lot of time walking in the South Platte river in CO. These shoes are perfect for that- excellent traction in the river and on the rocks, a thick sole to help protect your feet from the rocks, and great comfort. The only downside for me is that I don’t have enough ankle support, but my ankles are old like me (60s) so I don’t think it would be a problem for younger people. I highly recommend these over other river / water shoes I’ve owned mostly because of the thicker more flexible sole I also wear socks with them to help keep out small rocks. I’ve bought a second pair for me and a pair for my husband too.

High quality water shoe

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020

Size: 7.5 Women/6.5 MenColor: All BlackVerified Purchase

I recently went tubing down the Battenkill River. It was very shallow and the river rock was extremely slippery, making it dangerous to even move, when walking was necessary. I ended up throwing away the water shoes I had worn and set out to find a pair that would help in slippery situations. I read reviews online that said these would work. I was confused by the sizing, because they did not have an 8, which is what I wear. I ordered the 7 1/2 and was pleasantly surprised not only that they fit perfectly, but that they were very comfortable and had bottoms that will definitely aid when walking on slippery river rock. They are substantial enough, to wear as sneakers with a double use when entering the water.

So far so good!

Size: 6.5 Women/6 MenColor: Grey BlackVerified Purchase

These easy slip on/off were exactly what I was looking for! They are very comfortable and perfect for taking my dogs to the pond/lake/ocean. I just got them so I haven't been able to test the durability, but comfort, fit, and convenience exceed expectations for the price! I'm usually a 7-7 1/2 U.S women's shoes size and I ordered the 7 (because I won't be wearing socks with them) and the fit is great!

Decent water shoes...

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020

Size: 8.5 Women/7 MenColor: Army GreenVerified Purchase

Bought these as competition for the RocSocs and Keens. What I love about these is that they dry super fast. I don't see them holding up for a whole season. I didn't slip on the algae covered rocks in the river. Wish they had more toe protection, but overall pretty good. Some small pebbles get thru the mesh, but not too bad. I wouldn't wear these without socks for real hiking. I did now the lawn in them without socks and got bad blisters, but that's my fault. I don't think they will last in the long term, but for light use or occasional water sports, I'm sure they would be okay for many people. For serious hiking in rivers and creeks, on slippery rocks, I'd consider going for something more robust.

Nice solid sole but rocks get thru the sole into the shoe - yes, thru.

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020

Size: 14.5 Women/13.5 MenColor: Grey BlackVerified Purchase

Love 'em. Nice solid sole. I wear 13 but they only had a 13.5 so thats what I got. Fits closer to a 12.5. It fits me great, but be aware that their sizes seem to fit a litter smaller than expected.

Update. I have a couple hundred miles on them - well before worn out. There is plenty of tread left. The very bottom layer of the sole is wearing. The tread layer is very very thin - a couple millimeters - and covers a waffle type "bulk" of the sole. There are many holes exposed to the bottom that go straight thru to the street. I keep getting rocks in the shoes from the sidewalk that go thru those holes directly into the shoe. I have to empty a small rock 2-3 times every time I go for a walk. I'm sure they did it to keep weight down, but its very annoying to have to empty the rocks out endlessly. I will definitely not be getting these again.
