I saw a person in my Pilates class wearing these and I was curious. After looking them up, I'll admit I was skeptical paying so much for "socks". After a little justification on my head (I've likely spent that much or more on grip socks as I explored which type I liked better and the grips just wearing out), I decided to give these a go. There's a little learning curve wearing them for the first time, however you get used to them. The biggest thing was being used to sliding my foot in socks vs these grip so well you need to pick up your for and move it on the footbar or have your strap in the right place for feet in straps. These are so secure there's no sliding or tie wedgies doing lunges. My side planks, I'm not moving! And these clean up just with a rinse! These are definitely worth the purchase. I can't wait for the black to come back in stock in my size.

I LOVE these grippy water shoes, they're just as described. Comfy, easy to wash, they hug my feet through dance movements. Our bellydance troupe has been trying to find flattering open-toe dance shoes for an upcoming outdoor performance that don't detract from our costumes like ballet slippers or jazz shoes, or heeled ballroom shoes) ... we needed something that mimics the traditional barefoot bellydance experience we're used to while protecting the ball and heel. These do the trick! While grippy indoors for yoga, they allow easy spins on concrete outdoors...though of course we don't expect them to withstand too much rough usage like this. If barreletics could combine the rubbery uppers with a reinforced suede (or equivalent non-grip material) on the ball & sole you could corner the market on ****, unique 'barefoot' dance shoes for both indoor & outdoor performances! Fun note, I was even able to make them a shimmery bronze with Rub & Buff metallic wax to match our costumes!!

I love how these look and feel. They’ve made my beach yoga sessions so much more enjoyable.

I wore these for a whole day on the boat, and my feet never hurt. Great buy!

Perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking. They’re lightweight, dry quickly, and look great!
