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 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.

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!!

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

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

Yes, but I usually wash them in the sink. They dry quickly. I walk on the beach a lot and the sand hardly sticks to them. Another plus is even if I wear them all day, they don't smell.

Honestly I have never worn altho I HAVE THEM GLUED into a new underwire BRA which creates a very natural size/look for my small stature. And this underwire has an inch or more inside lip which helps hold in place. Have no answer for wearing at beach or water. I find the forms heavy after 25 yrs of NO chest weight(boobs). I purchased both the spray glue and two sided tape which would be ample security at beach I would think........BUT cannot advise on that.

The soles should and possibly the uppers if you brush by them. I wear my travel fins over them so my toes are protected. I also give urchins plenty of room

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

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.

Mine is completely filled and I have had no problem. I did use it for flats and sandals mostly - not what I would call heavy shoes.

I've found that you only sink into the mat when barefoot. I don't notice any significant sinking when wearing shoes.

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