Customer Reviews Speedo Tidal Cruiser

After having bought several pair of cheaper swimming shoes (which felt like cheap shoes) from Amazon, I decided to spend a little more for shoes that felt better on land. (Almost all cheap shoes will feel better in the water when you don't have to walk in them. So these shoes from Speedo were a really good bargain. First of all, they fit. (I ordered a 10, and they felt like a 10 and I take a 10 in a regular shoe.) I ordered a M which were just right since I am not wearing bulky socks. They have a much better arch support for walking to and from the pool on hard surfaces. The arches aren't extreme, but just enough to give a little boost to the instep. The color I bought is black (meh), but I'm not really looking for much in this department. These shoes don't seem to stretch out after a few swims like the cheap shoes. And they have back pulls to get them on. One of the best features is that the insoles aren't so thin that they just might have a shot at lasting. They certainly don't come out every time I take the shoes off my wet feet. So you would do well to invest a little more so that you don't have to endlessly buy cheap, crummy shoes that don't last and don't fit.

These shoes fit a bit large, and only come in whole sizes, so try one size down if your normal size is a half size.

I needed shoes for pool during water aerobics. Good price, good fit and comfortable. Have used several times and are nice. Dry pretty quickly

Functional for water activities where you need your feet covered and need to walk on a rubber soles, so flip flops just won’t cut it. I took two pairs of these on a recent family trip to Hawaii and they were perfect for me and my son. They do have a tendency to collect sand inside while you are wearing, so if you are heading somewhere sandy, be prepared to take them off and rinse the sand out. Good water shoe at a reasonable price.

I am going on a beach vacation soon, and needed shoes for beach walking and Kayaking. I am usually an 8 to 8.5 wide. I ordered this and the Speedo Surfwalker Pro 3.0 in both an 8 and a 9. The Surfwalker has a nicer style, but the stitching of the design on top, is irritating to my skin. The Tidal Cruiser fits me in the 8, and seems like it will be very comfortable. I need a higher arch, so I have put 3/4 length plastic arches under the insoles and that feels better to me. I look forward to having comfortable feet on my trip.

Very comfy. I usually wear size 7. Ordered these in size 7 and 8. Size 7 was very fitted, and my big toes were sticking out too much (not painfully, but I didn’t like it). Size 8 is not as snuggly as I want it to be, but the length is much more comfortable. Returning 7, keeping 8. Ordered same style for my husband - he wears men 8, and they fit him very well (like my size 8 fit me). So it looks like men sizes run a bit bigger (more accurate to the regular shoe size).

Great athletic water shoe. They only come in full sizes and the fit was off. Since they were a gift for my mom, she wasn’t comfortable with the size. But She loved the shoe and the color!

I normally wear a 6.5B. I ordered a 6 in this style, and it was too small. The 7 was just right. Not too big at all. So I'd go up 1/2 size if in between. Looks very nice unlike some water shoes. Feels comfy. Sole seems strong enough to hold up in the rocky areas. We'll see! But happy so far.

Comfortable- true to size- but really no arch support! I will keep them, but need to find another with lots more arch support for doing water aerobics!

second pair. So comfortable! and thick enough bottom for plenty of protection but still very flexible. Love these so much that i wear them all the time, not just for river and ocean. (My bony feet get cut/bruised easily so i need this '2nd skin' for rocky-bottomed river and ocean swimming. They were great for casual snorkeling too. I have narrow feet but I order a slightly bigger size (10) in these or my toes are pressing end of shoe.

Fit like a comfy glove. Perfect for rocky beach walks and swimming.

Nice pair of water shoes. We went to Puerto Rico recently and these worked great for kayaking and being on the beach without getting injured on the rocks in the sand and water.

First off, GREAT service from Zappos as usual! I have a narrow foot (3 AAA) and these aqua shoes fit well. They are generous so my toes aren't squished and are comfortable in the water. Good for ocean, swimming pools, splash pads and water parks.

The shoes fit perfectly for my normal size!

I needed these for kayaking and water aerobics. They are perfect for those sports.

This pair has replaced an older Speedo version that lasted about five years. Super grey color and nice stretchy fabric, easy to put on even with wet feet. I use them for aqua gym and they are perfect. Dry quickly. hanks Zappos!

I purchased these shoes for our upcoming trip to Hawaii. These shoes will be great for water sports & beach time.

So lightweight and comfortable

I bought them for my Florida Keys trip. They were so comfy! Great water shoes!

Useful water shoe for when flip flops are insufficient.

I had to go up one size but love them for yard and house shoes. Comfy.

Fabric is soft on the skin. The neoprene collar keeps the shoes in place well.

Perfect for what I needed them for!

Perfect for walking low tide flats and they are light enough to swim with them. Very breathable as well.
