FilaE-z Slide 18 Engineered Mens Shoes

This is my 2nd pair. The first pair I used them for over 4 years for Stand Up Paddle to have a better grip on the board. It's great to be able to walk right over the rocks in the ocean. And recently, I wore them on my trip to Hawaii on a muddy hiking trail. They held up very well and they are extremely comfortable to wear. The nice part was that I could easily rinse them off. I usually wear a woman's 8 size shoe and purchased a size 7 mens. The fit is perfect with a comfortable wide width. These shoes are easy to put on and take off, unlike surf booties. I don't recommend wearing them all day because it gets a little bit too hot and sweaty, but perfect for a few hours at a time. My soles feel very protected and my feet stay some what warm in cold water. It's getting harder to find these shoes (since there was a law suit against these types of shoes) and I'm hoping they won't take it off the market when I need to buy a new pair in 4 years. I know to many people, these shoes look ridiculous, but in my opinion, it's been a life saver and the same people are jealous when they are screaming walking over rocks in the water. Oh one other thing, this is a great price, if you can find other brands they are way more expensive and have a thinner bottom.

I actually bought these again. The first time was from a sports store, and I love these shoes. So comfortable. I like wearing these on vacation walking the boardwalk and the beach and I get a lot of compliments.

My left foot fits perfectly. Very comfortable.....the right is a bit snug but do-able. I've only wore them for several hours thus far. Once to the pool at a resort and then a sandy beach lake. I'm pretty happy them. First pair of Toed shoes I have owned and it's not that bad to get use too. I like that you can adjust the strap across the foot and at the heel. Last test will come in a few weeks when I'm at the Ocean for a week. But overall....not to shabby !!!

good for florida

Love these shoes! They are super-comfy and very light, but tough as nails. The soles have great traction and I go hiking in them all the time. They are breathable and water runs right out, making them great for wading or boat shoes. These are a bit of an upgrade from the last pair I had (which lasted years, by the way) in that the sole actually has a bit of an air gap at the ball and heel, giving it some spring and give rather than just being a solid piece of rubber. They're so comfy I walk the dog in them all the time. Once you set the velcro straps they're easy to slip on and off. Make sure you don't get a size too big or too small, they're meant to fit snugly.The tread also makes great skeleton footprints in the dirt! :D

I have owned several pairs of skeletoes in the past. The stitching in the back, for the pull on loop, used to irritate my skin because it was so stiff. I had to wear moleskin anytime I wore them. I wore them a lot, because the comfort of my feet outweighed the use of moleskin. These newer versions do not have that issue. They are now using a better stitching material that is smooth to the touch. They are super comfortable and fit very well. If you are a fan of these types of shoes, I think you will like these. These do have drainage holes in the bottom of them, so if you wear them in the water, like I do, they drain much faster.

I couldn't wait to try these on... 1st of all, I wear a 9 1/2 Reg. close to a narrow fitting. I had a problem sliding my foot into the shoe, which (at the on line advice of the company) was a size 10. After squeezing my foot into the shoe, I found that the 2 small toes which were squeezed into the same assigned toe space, (there are only 4 toe assignments) the smaller toe was jammed into the side of the shoe, to the point of pain. I decided to try the shoe with a thin pair of socks, while this seemed to work better, it brought to my attention 2 more problems; 1. there is a small hump that is supposed to pass for an arch support, (this would only make your instep hurt after a few hours if, that long). 2. don't walk in a crowd of people, there is absolutely no upper toe protection, (guaranteed you'll find the woman high heels), also the shoe makes your foot cant to the outer sides, warning for the two little toes... to the company sorry for my bad review... Too the customer, take heed... My problem now is how do I return the shoes...???

Lets begin with the good?So the good thing about these are that they are cheap.Now that we have the good out of the way lets move on.So I got these in today just finished my first run with them. The first thing I noticed is there are only 4 toe spots your two outer toes share a toe box, and they are significantly more padded than my Vibrams. They were tough to put on there is not very much flex and I had to loosen all the straps to get them on and strap them back up. They were snug and felt decent enough before walking out of the house. I began on my run and within the first block I felt the snow through the bottoms something I was not expecting. I guess that is something that is going to happen when they have holes in the bottom didn't read that prior to purchasing so that is on me. About half way through my first loop I wanted to stop at home and switch shoes, I decided I was just being a brand snob. On my third loop was when I started to feel it, the constant rubbing on the inner part of the ball of my foot sitting here typing this I am positive that both my feet will have blisters showing up in a few days. My left foot I could also feel the back heel rubbing towards the end of my run. I don't know if it is something to do with the shared toe box or not but my left outer toes felt a bit of pain towards the end of my run as well. With all this being said I may not be being fair as I did not retighten the back straps of the shoes as I could feel them I guess pulling is the best way to describe it into my heels. I believe that would have eliminated the back heel rub but I doubt it with the rubbing on the ball of my foot. I really wanted to like these shoes cause lets face it I would rather spend $35 on a pair of shoes than $125. Unfortunately they just do not seem like they will work out for my intended purpose, I may give them another run all strapped up properly and see if it is any better but I doubt it.

Me gustó que son ligeros

Buen producto tal como lo esperaba!

I've been running with this style of shoe for quite some time now and really like the build quality of the Fila. The fastening straps allow the wearer to adjust the fit to perfection, therefore no rubs, easy running. Having adapted to running in these I cannot imagine changing back to the "orthodox" style of shoe.

Quisiera cambiarlo por un número más, si dice e la etiqueta que es número 6 pero me queda demasiado ajustado podría cambiarlo por 6.5 o en su defecto por 7. Gracias

Excelente producto, con muy buen material se metieron a rio y mar y funcionan excelente claro que los vuelvo a comprar, compra un numero mas de largo para que no quede tan justo
