These can be laundered.
I love these things. When paired with my venerable Teva sandals (which I just had re-soled) they make me feel invulnerable to giant water bugs, other inimical life-forms which I am convinced lurk in waterways, and rocks. Another character defect of mine is a prone-ness to stubbed toes.The smell mentioned by other reviewers just manifested itself two days ago- my car reeked like low tide. Turned 'em inside-out, threw 'em in with a load of laundry, they came out great. They're tough, they can handle a normal laundry cycle.

Great!
Before I decided to invest in water shoes, I picked up a pair of these to wear with my keens while paddling. They kept my feet warm, and were great with sandals. They are without soles and really are just water socks, so if you intend to use them alone, you'll have no fun walking around on rocks.I found the fit snug, and noted still that they were true to size, as you want something like this to be snug to reduce sand intrusion and rubbing. Also, another review noted they were stinky. I find that anything I use in the ocean, if not properly rinsed with fresh water, will get pretty funky. Always rinse your gear as soon as you are able!
