The Osmos by Tilos is the next generation in minimalist water shoes. The unique ventilated neoprene on the upper provides UV and thermal protection without creating a clammy feel when things heat up. The tatex rubber sole is vented to allow water to flow through but keeps sand out for maximum comfort

WOW! A must buy for beach goers!
I can't believe I didn't know about these sooner!!!I (we - my husband also got a pair and loved them) bought these to take on our Mexico beach vacation. I've brought other water shoes before, and while good for excursions and such, they were not good for just walking on the beach because they would quickly fill with sand. THESE are great for beach walking! The sand on the beach in Cabo heats up quickly during the day, and will actually burn your feet if you're not careful! These made it so easy to just slip on and walk on the sand without feeling ANY heat. They are also SUPER comfortable! They are light weight and soft. I actually wondered if they were going to work and hold up because of that, but they were perfect!We also used them when we went Kayaking and Jet Skiing; they had great traction for getting on and off the equipment. Additionally, I wore mine in my flippers when we went snorkeling, because I inevitably either rub my heals and/or the tops of my feet raw if I don't wear something, and these fit in the flippers perfectly.NOTE!!!!!! DON'T GET A SHORTER ANKLE VERSION! Get the taller - over the ankle - crew size. My niece brought a different brand that was only ankle height, and she had a LOT of trouble with hers quickly filling up with sand just walking on the beach.Also - these are not for standing and playing in the rough surf and letting the waves (full of sand) crash over your feet and legs. Even with the adjustable ankle strap, the waves were too strong, and would push the sock down, which would then cause them to fill up with sand.They are easy to wash and quick to dry. I just washed ours in the sink with some mild soap, rinsed well, and hung them to dry.The size was also perfect for both me and my husband. I wear a size 7 to 7.5 women's and purchased the Small. My husband wears a size 10, and we got him the Large.

GREAT PRODUCT! Runs large!
Bought two pair for my boyfriend and I for our sand football league! I absolutely love these. I wear a 7.5 in women's and he wears a 9.5 in men's. I ordered a small for me and a medium for him and they fit perfect! They run small - look at charting! They keep my feet warm when it's 33 degrees on the oceanfront and I start questioning why I wanted to join this damn football league. I wear socks underneath them for extra warm protection, have never gotten them wet and only wear on sand. They're a great color and make all the difference when running on the sand.

These will hold up exremely well for what they are designed for......what I put them through, maybe not so much but read on.....
I am rehabing a right hip replacement 9-12-15. Physical therapy is in the pool and my surgeon said let's not baby this and to push as hard as I can and he's right at this point! Started running in 4 to 5 feet of water but being in the water for 45 minutes prior, doing PT exercises and stretching my feet are already "prunie". I begin using a running motion to reteach the muscles and ligaments to move in a running motion pushing off the bottom of the pool to move forward. The pool floor is typical rough and after 15 to 20 minutes and a few laps I learned that I was wearing the skin off my toes and balls of my feet. Tried "water socks" but the glued in liner eventually just wrinkled up under the pushing pressure. So I looked to Amazon to find some sort of water sock with a rubber sole and bought a couple styles that were way too big and much more expensive. Tried these today for the first time, they are thinner and have a fabric sole that is slick on home floors. Did my rehab PT then ran 18 laps or about 900 ft.Pros: These are light and there is a scuba like material that seems to be sown into the insole. They protected already tender feet well. I put them through the ringer here.....read further please.Cons: The socks do move some after a lot of activity, partly because of the pressure pushing off of them but partly because the opening has Velcro to help tighten the top/opening around the ankle which is not long enough to allow for narrow or tapered calves. Suggest that the Velcro stitched in the area for the Velcro strap to attach be extended at least twice as long to allow for a tighter adjustment for those who might need it.Now, I said I put this through the ringer and even though I was in a pool, I put some serious running pressure on these socks. Turns out they fared pretty well but will not last under the tasks I am asking them to do at this point. The right foot showed little wear and is the hip I am rehabing. The left foot shows a serious wear pattern and there is early evidence of a tear in the material at his point. See pictures attached.Please, all you scuba enthusiasts DO NOT write me and tell me these are for scuba activities....I know that. This is an experiment to see if the lighter sock might hold up for about 6 more weeks of rehab and extra exercise to get me back to where I was before I was injured the better part of 9 years ago.

Great for kayaking
Very thin and breathable.. walking in the sand in a creek or on the beach launching my kayak.. these work perfectly for keeping the sand out.

Doesn’t keep sand out
The socks are okay. It’s great that they have small sizes, and they are light weight, which is good for hot weather. However, the tops aren’t nearly tight enough to keep sand out. If your kids run around in the sand, they are more likely to complain about them because wet sand will get in them and rub their feet. My daughter wore them for about 5 minutes before taking them off because the sand inside was rubbing her feet. Tie something around the tops to keep them closed better and they will work.

So far, so good
I bought these to play sand court volleyball. I've always had trouble playing in the sand because I don't like playing barefoot, and any kind of shoe tends to fill up with sand. These have done a great job keeping the sand out, and they also provide some insulation when the sand is hot. I've only had them a few weeks, so I can't comment on durability, but so far they're working great.Sizing - I wear a size 12 shoe, so I bought XL. They're a little loose (XL is supposed to fit 12-13, so that was expected), but that allows me to wear a pair of regular socks under them, which makes them even more comfortable for what I need, which doesn't involve getting them wet at all.
