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'm not sure... We used the exact amount of sand recommended and have had absolutely no problems. A little sand initially when we submerged the steps but I think that was just from a little spillage onto the steps as we filled them. No movement, no floating. We love the steps. They are exactly what we were looking for.

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!!

Probably not. I have not tried them in sand, but I do not believe they will hold in sand.

Cement/concrete would be too thin and probably set up and ruin the bags. Gravel may work. Sand is great, cheap and does not hurt customers toes if stepped in to.

I used them with chaco sandles for hiking in Hawaii on muddy trail. My feet stayed dry.

I wear them while surf-fishing along the sandy or rocky shore of SoCal. Although they are lite-weight, it seems a bit over-kill for swimmers.

They are made of solid (very flexible) silicone. They do not "breathe" as silicone is not porous. You might feel they are not that fresh on your feet. I do not know how long they would last. I think it all depends on your walking gait. They seem to be a quality product.

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.

Yes, but they are wading shoes. Most of my fishing involves hiking along the streams in SC. Some days up to 1-2 miles. They have good support but tread pattern is not heavily cleated, so it can be slick if there are leaves on wet rocks

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

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.

If I remember correctly, I think we used the small pebbles instead of sand.The base is pretty big so you would probably need 2 small to medium size bags.Our grandkids love it !

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!

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).

Sorry, I don't know. I squeezed them after reading your question and they could be sand filled but again, I don't know.
