These WHITIN Men’s Amphibious Water Shoes are essentially a cross between a dressy sneaker and a pair of adult surf socks. They’re presentable, keep you dry, and reasonably comfortable.
I wore these for four days on a trip to Portugal when weather there were frequent short rains. The shoes dried out quickly when wet. I took several 2+ mile walks in these shoes. The shoes held up well and they were comfortable. Admittedly, they weren’t as comfortable as my normal sneakers, but they were more comfortable than I expected. My main issue was that the rubber material made them noisy in both wet and dry weather. The sound of my foot steps were noisier than usual. They also had the tendency to squeak when I stopped walking.
All in all, these are good shoes for wet weather and comfortable enough for a substantial walk. They won’t ever replace my normal sneakers or walking shoes, but I’ll keep them around.

These WHITIN Men’s Amphibious Water Shoes have exceeded my expectations in every way. They are not only stylish with their casual-inspired design but also incredibly comfortable and functional. The quick-drying feature is fantastic, making them perfect for any water-related activities. The shoes fit perfectly and provide great support, which is essential for both water and land use. The material is durable yet breathable, ensuring my feet stay comfortable throughout the day. Whether I’m at the beach, hiking near streams, or just walking around town, these shoes perform exceptionally well. The traction is excellent, providing stability on both wet and dry surfaces. Additionally, they are lightweight, making them easy to pack for trips and adventures. I highly recommend these shoes for anyone looking for versatile, high-quality water shoes that look great and perform even better.

Love the fact that these shoes have a wide toe box and they are really grippy. Used these on our cruise and they were super comfortable. Only thing s they are very grippy and you’ll sometimes find yourself feeling like you’re stuck on tile which make s a pretty high pitch squeak. But hey that means they’re working and they’re safe.

9/13/23 update.
I’ve had these since 7/19/23 & have used them quite a bit, for their unintended purpose, playing disc golf & I’m really impressed with the durability. Concrete tee pads chew through shoes like a shark through a swimmers arm. I play an average of 3 times per week and they show very little wear. The only drawback is they don’t dry a quickly as I thought but they wick water away very well. They’re proving to be pretty versatile shoes and great for that “barefoot feel”!
I’ve only had these for a short time and I’m using them for something outside of their intended WATER SHOE purpose. I’m using them for disc golf!
I noticed a few people have posted their review complaining about the fact these are not waterproof shoes. Pay attention people! They are water shoes not waterPROOF shoes! That means they wick water away and dry quickly.
I purchased them because water shoes are notorious for having pretty durable soles that don’t separate from the upper as well as having sturdy but flexible uppers, meaning they’re not stretchy.
These things are performing great so far! They have more of a barefoot feel, as they should, being water shoes (for those who have posted about the discomfort smh). The soles have a typical water shoe tread pattern and seem to be pretty durable as there’s a lot of rotation and movement when I drive from concrete or cement pads yet they show little to no wear so far. The comparison pics between these and the Reebok RBX shoes aren’t a fair comparison because I’ve used the reeboks for 20 or so rounds and only played 3 rounds with the WHITIN’s but they do depict the problems with these spongy soles that have a thin layer of rubber tread pattern separating and wearing away far too quickly. It feels as though these will wear pretty well but time will tell.
At around $40 I think these are a decent buy and would recommend them but I will certainly update this review accordingly. ✌🏼
