They are hard. My son wore them in the sea 4-5 times and the shark design got cut in half. They are easy to wear and look nice. With such a price, you don't expect many things. You can get them as a second pair, but not as a primary one.

For the beach, they are very good and much more affordable than the well-known brand. We are doing our job just fine, especially now that their little feet are growing so fast

For their price, they are very good! It's not the best quality, the edges come off from the shark, but you get what you pay for! It's perfect for the sea
