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.

I love my croakies & they were a great buy. But I do not think they will work for surfing.

One bag play sand from Home Depot....but it had so many pebbles in it. We filtered out largest ones. Maybe someone else has better play sand. Do NOT use paver sand as this will harden when wet and of course it will with water so close. Sand from a garden center maybe? But... One bag was sufficient even after pebble removal. Enjoy your table!!

Yes! My kids wore them at the beach to protect their feet from the hot sand. We've also used them in the pool to protect feet from rough cement.

I think this will be a good choise for your prb, these are very soft, they don't bother you anywhere, but not thick enough, if you have enough room/width on those shoes, you can leave the original insoles in & put these gel ones on top, as I think they are only good for walking, you will love them. You could also go with silicone insoles, like 'FLA Soft Point Silicone Full Insoles', these are quiet soft, at the same time firm & thick, not hard at all, but these run maybe 1 size smaller, pick 1 sz bigger than what it says. Hopefully this helps.

Hi Bonnie - I generally wear an American shoe size of 11 1/2, so I ordered a 12. The are very comfortable to walk in both the water and on the beach. Hard pavement is tolerable for a mile or so, but I would switch to sandals or athletic shoes for hard pavement.

If you can go 1/2 size down it might be alright but not a full size. They need to fit fairly tight to keep the sand out. I normally wear a 8 1/2 shoe, so an 8 fits very well. They're a good shoe and they stretch on comfortably.

You could fill them with anything you want I'm sure. I didn't weigh them full of sand but I would estimate 40lbs each.

I personally could not wear these rain boots all day, especially on a trip where you are constantly walking, because they do not have enough arch support for me; I have a high arch. Also, something to think about if you are going when it is cold, is that I can only wear thin socks in my boots. I would recommend getting them and trying them around the house well in advance of your trip if you don't need much arch support. Have fun!

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 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

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.

I would say no. The material that they are made of wouldn't do well in water.

yes and they BUST off ! I was stuck on vacation with no fins and had to rent some. First time i even put them on.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

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

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.
