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 wear a size 13 tennis shoe and dress shoe so I ordered a size 13 dive boots. Big mistake! The first time I wore them, they filled up like water balloons they were so large. I tossed mine in the garbage as they were unwearable. I'm not sure if size 12 would have been too large or not but I didn't feel like going through the hassle of trying them. You may have to try women's size 5 and see if they fit.

sand and small pebbles work great in there. unfortunately small toys get put in there often and it can be tough to get them out.

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

I got a large. My shoe size is 12. Fits perfectly. You'll probably want a medium. For beach, I haven't tried. It might work, but I doubt it will be comfortable. It has moving parts, and if sand gets inside there, it probably won't be good. I do know somebody who has used a non-active ankle brace on sand (one of those cloth ones with lots of laces), and he says it was manageable, but the sand got everywhere.

yes. in fact, i filled both of mine with a bag of rocks from home depot. sand would also work.

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

Yes these shoes have been great, either at the beach just on the sand and also for walking over the rocks etc. Thick enough to not feel the rocks, but still have good balance.

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.

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

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.

Yes, you can fill them with sand or water but, realistically, it doesn't seem necessary. They are VERY heavy!

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.

Walking barefoot on these mats would be hard on the feet. I tried it. However, the material they are made from is impervious to water so they would be fine for an underwater application.

My pair start leaking sand too after one month. I can not return it to Amazon. Now I just use the Nayoya weight for my feet and hand ( work out better then the Reebok one). Oh ! well you still could use the wrist weight out door only until all the sand leak out. Amazon should not sell it to us.

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.

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.
