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 have only used mine with bear feet. I take a size USA 10.5 shoe and the flippers fit well on my bear feet. I think if I had a bulky water shoe as well they would definitely not fit me. Maybe if you get a big size or have small feet you could get a wetsuit booty in them.

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.

I haven't had to teeter on rocks just yet but I did run into a big yellow concrete post, the ones that are put in front of buildings so you don't hit the building. They held up really well, no dents or anything just a nice long yellow stripe. I'd assume they'd do really well though on the rocks, not just for mall-crawling, the things are gnarly.

Yes, they work great for deep water walking. I use them routinely for that! They make for a great workout.

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!

I would get a plastic container large enough to fit your Sloggers. Fill it with enough water so the grooves are covered. The shoes may start to float. If they do, just put a clean rock inside the shoes. I've tried those porcupine style shoe scrappers. They were a waste of money. I always leave a chair, an extra pair of shoes and a towel on a mat by the hose. I wash off the Sloggers, step on the mat to dry off, and then I'm ready for the next project. Try writing Sloggers, I'm certain they've been asked this question before. I hope this helps.

Rubber slips on rocks and stuff when wet and slimy. Wading boots with felt bottoms or aluminum grips/spikes don't slip easliy

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.

No they wont. If they fit snugly (order a half size smaller), they may insulate your feet from water and the elements. But they wont keep your feet from getting wet.

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.

I guess so. But if you soak them in water often, I'm not sure. Walk them at the beach? I'd say be careful with your knees.

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.

With careful walking yes, they should. But they don't offer much protection as far as a sole so I'd be very careful about watching where I put my feet in case there is glass or something of that nature.

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.

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.

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 !
