Body Glove Men’s Sidewinder Water Shoe – Reviews

Spiffy but needs larger opening

Appearance is spot on. The cute velcro tab to keep the lace from flopping is a good idea.I couldn’t tell from the picture but the “tongue” is not very wide and sewn completely to the sides.Husband’s foot lacks control due to a stroke. He can wiggle the one shoe eventually-the other is fineand without health issues no one would notice.He has been wearing Body Glove Trek sandals for nearly two years.

Great for kayaking

While they somewhat look like the cheap slip-ons, you find beachside, they are more substantial. The soles provide a good combination of flex and protection. The lacing system is adequate in most situations. They fall a little short in keeping out the grit.

Flimsy, flat

The soft rubber sole of these shoes is very flexible. It has very little shape inside, let alone any kind of arch. The shoe doesn’t look to be very well drained or vented (didn’t actually get them wet). These might work for some people, but I’m returning them.

Not bad overall would not use them for an active lifestyle

Not a bad product. Came in a reasonable amount of time. Just of a lower quality. Spend the extra money and get a better product.

Body Glove Men’s Sidewinder Water Shoe – FAQ

do these have holes on the bottom of soles to drain water?

I don’t know about the sidewinders. The similar Body Glove IDS shoes I just purchased have holes in the soles under the innersoles. It would be easy enough to punch holes/additional holes in the soles.

Where are these made?

I don’t recall and didn’t save the packaging, but the shoes are holding up well.

Picture shows two different types of shoes; one has laces and one does not. Which one is it?

The Sidewinder is the one with the laces.

What’s the weight?

I don’t want to put them on the kitchen gram scale, but they dry overnight. He can just pull them on without unlacing. They are the safest shower shoes I have found.

Do they fit if you have wide feet

Sorry,we sent them back. We ordered my husband’s regular size and they were at least half, if not full, size too big
