Does anyone know if these will fill up with sand and pebbles at a Long Island Sound beach? My Target beach shoes did.

These are great boots, I use them with my open hill fins, when you get out of the water these will hold water inside, this means that the top cloth is sealed (not like the mesh type beach sand) so sand won't enter inside the boot but if the water is sandy? I love these boots, they are great and very comfortable, I haven't seen any signs of damage.

I can't speak about Long Island Beach. However, I've used this for diving and walking around the beach in Asia, the shoes are pretty tight. Make sure you buy the correct size. I usually wear a size 7 or 8 but bought size 6 and it fits perfectly well.

No, there pretty tight. The will not keep your feet dry once submerge. Excellent to protect you heel from your open heel dive fins.

I bought them for diving because my boots were too wide for my foot and they worked great for me. And I walked around on the soft deep sand at the beach in Panama City Beach in Florida with them. I didn't notice any sand that had gotten in. I really like them. They fit securely around the lower ankles. I hope this helps.

I can't speak to Long Island Sound Beach, but I used them for a week of snorkeling in the Caymans and had no problems with filling with sand and pebbles.

I have only used mine with bear feet. I take a size USA 10.5 shoe and the flippers fit well on my bear feet. I think if I had a bulky water shoe as well they would definitely not fit me. Maybe if you get a big size or have small feet you could get a wetsuit booty in them.

They are awesome!! They do have more of an outdoor feel to them. I have them at my beach house and they fit perfect for that environment.

I haven't tried that but I would say yes. They will actually pass a tiny bit of sand through so I'd assume that water would pass OK, might be slow.

My pair start leaking sand too after one month. I can not return it to Amazon. Now I just use the Nayoya weight for my feet and hand ( work out better then the Reebok one). Oh ! well you still could use the wrist weight out door only until all the sand leak out. Amazon should not sell it to us.

Same here as the others...really cute...my grandkids love to run their fingers in the sand and kind of rearrange it...cover the shells.. .move the shoes...the beach ball and ring are made of hard rubber...it makes me think of the jersey shore.

Yes. We filled our 's with water just in case we wanted to move it later. But they suggest filling it with either sand or water.

I used them over waders to duck hunt slippery rocks on Long Island sound, they did not stay on very well and ripped shortly after purchase. I would say for walking around on icy stuff in boots or shoes maybe, anything more demanding no.

I have used plain old socks, they catch the sand but take a while to dry. Cotton works but nylon mens dress are best.

Not really sure.I would think that sand would get in them and be uncomfortable but they do sloe pretty tight. They hold water i know that and your feet do get a little water logged i assume the same with sand minus the water log.

They leaked a bit with just water. Make sure you have the bottoms on completely tight. It wasn't generally a big problem for me.

Haven't used it on a beach, but it is very light and the tires are wide, so it would probably work well unless you filled it with bricks.

They do tend to sink slightly depending on how hard packed your ground is. We packed our sand quite firm and did not use any extra materials. Some of the youtube videos do show wood pieces or cement blocks, but we did not use anything and had no problem.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

Yes. Saves a lot of digging time in the sand. If you get a few charts of the beach you visit, you can find the eddies. The are the hot spots where rings and other jewelry get washed up at. Gold is 50 times heavier than water and will roll with the tide. You need to find the low spots where the items can not roll up and over. If you have the Garrett Pro or Gold you can go in to up to 12 feet of water, getting to places other beach combers can not go!Scott

You should get a mat because the sand could cause major impactions. And you could fit maybe three in this.

You have to fill it up yourself, Don't worry though. You can fill it up with common sand, gravel, etc.
