Contemplating getting a pair of these but can't find any shops to visit with stock in my size (size 12's sometimes a 13) to try them on.

Can anyone confirm if the sizing is correct or will I need to go up or down on the specific size. Or alternatively can anyone recommend an alternative such as the Ridgemonkey Aqua Shoe or Prologic version. Must be comfortable enough to actually get in the water if needed and therefore quick drying too.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with the others they are the size they say they are.
I spend most of the time wearing them with the backs trodden down

What makes them better/safer than Crocs, the soles look similar?

Crocs are fine in the dry, as soon as it's wet you might as well be wearing rollerblades.

The soles are nothing like each other mate crocs have hardly any tread where as Navitas weaves have a deep gripping tread pattern the difference between ending up on your arse or not

As the replies already,crocs are lethal once the ground is slightly damp.The weaves grip far better,with the backs folded down are just as easy to get on as crocs too

Think I'll pick up a pair then. Have Nash bivvy slippers, new and never worn (forgot I had them) will have a look at them too.

As mentioned above mate, I ordered mine direct from Navitas. An advert pops up whilst on the site to click on a ropulette type wheel where you can see what discount offer you will get whilst oin the site (I got 15 % off) so £23.75 delivered (if you spend over £30 delivery is free but at 6ft 5inches and 18 stone I didn't see anything else worth ordering)

I got a pair from them a couple of weeks before Xmas for £12 . I find they are ok but I'd prefer the backs to be far stronger as they fold down way too easily for my liking

the backs are designed to fold down easy
unless its muddy in the summer I never have the backs up just slip the foot straight in them like mules

Yeah I see that mate, I didn't really look at them properly before I ordered them because they were so cheap. I can't get on with the folded backs Tbh so I won't be using them during the nights. Nice and lightweight for a bit of wandering round with the floater rod though

thats really amazing I am the total opposite !!!!!!

at night its great to swing the legs out straight in the shoes and on the rod thats what makes em soo good ?

and in the daytime not being in the bag no need to fold em down as they stay on my feet all day

Yeah I get that Gerry.,I see why people like them so much. I can get a pair of trainers on just as quickly so that's what I'll keep doing. Shoes with no backs or with them folded down just won't stay on my feet properly so I find them uncomfortable and a pain in the ass Tbh.

well dont write the idea off as these are elastic they really dont
give it a try mate you might be pleasantly surprised the biggest thing is the grip I never had so many near misses with my beloved Crocs on the sloping river bank it was just a matter of time before I ended up in the river
and they are as comfy as crocs

After knocking the wind out of myself during a take, thanks to crocks , I changed to the Navita weaves and they are far better , will never use crocks again.

Weaves arrived and I must say, they are extremely comfy. Actually wire them as slippers all day yesterday around the house. 😂👍

I had the same thoughts initially as I am a 12 too. I persevered for an hour with them on and them do stretchg to the poiunt that they become incredibly comfortable. I now don't even notice that they are on, they are that comfortable. Glad I persevered as I was initially going to return them and try and get a 13 but see they are sold out of 13's.
