Does anyone know if these would fill up with sand and pebbles while walking in the surf of a pebbly beach? My Target beach shoes did.

they will not, the bottoms are then and you do feel the rocks underfoot but the seal is tight

Even though I have not used it in sand much, I am pretty sure sand will have a hard time getting inside the shoe.

I've never walked in surf with these boots (assuming that you mean with bare legs), but based on experience with similar neoprene water shoes (assuming again that you"d be in water over the boot top), I wouldn't bet that it would keep out anything smaller than a pea. In calm water maybe, but not in surging ocean surf. In my opinion, you'd be safe only if the boot tops were covered by a long legged wet suit.

Doubt it because of leather and water don't mix. I got my other pair soaked and they drew up a little. These just are not made to operate in underwater conditions.

They are awesome!! They do have more of an outdoor feel to them. I have them at my beach house and they fit perfect for that environment.

Did you wind up taking this to the beach? I'm thinking of buying it for the same reason -- I doubt it will work in the sand but I'm hoping it will be good enough for the 3 block walk to the ocean.

i havent used them in the water, so i dont know, but i would guess yes as lomg as you got white or a light color.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

I don't think it would work - if sand got inside, it would cause a blister - when walking up the beach in them after I removed my snorkel, it was irritating

I don't think they are suitable for water sports. I haven't taken mine in water yet. A reviewer said that some of the coloration came off the sandal onto her foot when in water. So I stay away from water. Mine are blue.

I used them over waders to duck hunt slippery rocks on Long Island sound, they did not stay on very well and ripped shortly after purchase. I would say for walking around on icy stuff in boots or shoes maybe, anything more demanding no.

I've need tried them for deep water walking but I don't know why you couldn't use them that way. They advertise their use for swimming and exercise in a pool.

I have glow in the dark pebbles. Black lights never seemed to do much to them. I think the Light has a hard time penetrating through the water. But that's just a guess. Go buy yourself a black light poster. Then if the pebbles don't work out you've got yourself something sweet

I'd do a 9. With water shoes you want them tight so sand and other things stay out. And if it was loose you'd end up with a blister on the back of your foot.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

My son wore them to play sand soccer in them. They worked great. Then he went into the ocean wearing them.

I used the chart, there was a link. I prefer close fit, as sand does still get in and when swimming I don't want to feel them flopping and they are a nice thin stretchy material.

I don't believe that these are designed to be filled with water, I do believe they would leak badly. They work perfectly if you put approx 40 pounds of play sand (available at Home Depot) into each bag--good luck!
