O'NEILL Men's Reactor 2mm Reef Booties

Haven’t worn swimming yet but product seems durable and is comfortable as well as stylish enough to hit the bar on the boardwalk when your done in the ocean. Lightweight and flexible but a good sole to protect your feet. I wear a women’s 8.5 shoe and the 7 fit me like a glove. Cannot beat these for the price

These shoes looked good, and I really liked the fact that the liner was not removable, but they didn't fit. I wear a women's 9.5, so I bought the men's 7, and they were way too small, with my big toe firmly bumping up against the front.

I took these to Belize, Central America, and found them to be great for the beach. Comfortable protection on rocks and sand. I have plantar fasciitis, so often have pain if I do not have good arch support, but I found these comfortable and was very glad to have them. I also wore them out on the boat ride to island for snorkeling, although I did not try them inside my flippers, I think they would have been too bulky for that. They dried pretty fast when hung on clothesline in the breeze. I found size to be slightly generous, but I did not have to exchange.

Hurts toes when walking.

Love. I use them for diving and they do the job wonderfully, 30+ dives in and not a sign of wear or tear. Perfect for slick walking or rough terrain. I'm not a fan of the higher tops, and these feel very comfortable. Like a broken in pair of sneakers.

Shoes are to thin to do much of anything, can feel everything through the bottom, and filled with water when they got in wet

I bought these to wear when I go kayaking. I normally wear a size 7 1/2 or 8 women's size shoe but, even though they don't tell you, these are men's sizing. I changed my original order, placed before I realized that, to a size 7 (one size smaller) and they fit perfectly. I haven't worn them yet but I think that they well work out just fine. They feel great on.

K, too cold/wet for running in 5 fingers? Here's how I run when it's: 0 - 20 deg. F: 1st base layer: 5 finger wool tetra sock, 2nd layer: .5 mm "Hydroskin" socks from NRS and finally, Oneill's Reactor Reef boot. Def. not the freedom you get from VFFs...but it works. Feet are warm/dry even after running in: rain, snow whether packed or not, trail/street. The reactor reef boot is 2mm thick w/ a great nonslip grip BUT the magic of surviving the cold/moisture comes from the hydroskin sock! Nothing quite like barefoot...but I don't like treadmills! This works and I scored the reef boots for $25, hydroskins for $23 and tetrasocks, while expensive at $16/pair do give a smidge more freedom than reg. socks:) Have fun...freak out your neighbors!! I think I can run anywhere/anytime now! After a 6-8mi jog, the inside of the hydroskins condense sweat heavily...so experiment with, say 2 base layers...under the hydroskin. Proper barefoot form is sacrificed as layers are added...due to less feedback..so i just slow my runs down...increasing distance in winter:) Sheesh, when weather breaks...it'll be back to barefoot or my WELL worn KSOs!!!!!
