Yeezy Water Shoes AQ-01: Size Guide, Fit & Review

Yeezy’s official advice for the AQ-01 is to size down, but owner reviews are split. Many find their true size fits like a glove, especially with socks, while sizing down can feel snug or even tight with no wiggle room. If you wear socks or want a little room, go true to size; if you want a snug barefoot fit, size down. Half sizes should round down to the nearest whole size. Below you’ll find owner reviews, the sizing guide, a FAQ and where to buy.

Yeezy AQ-01 Review

Here is what owners are saying on r/yeezys:

“The website says to size down. I am a 10 so I got a 9 and there is no wiggle room, but they are comfortable. Perhaps with thinner socks there would be some room. They look ok, like bike racer shoes. There is an insole like the SL-03.” (r/yeezys)

“I went with my TTS 11 and it fits like a glove, not too tight, not too loose. Half sizes would probably have to go down to the nearest full size. There’s a pretty sizable cushiony insole that makes walking in them comfortable. These came out better than I expected, with a more premium feel than the previous foam shoes.” (r/yeezys)

“I originally sized down because a lot of people were saying that was the better option, but honestly they ended up being pretty tight on me.” (r/yeezy)

“I feel like they fit true to size in length with a sock (perfect amount of space at the toe), but would probably try to size down without socks.” (r/yeezys)

Yeezy AQ-01 Water Shoes FAQ (based on owners’ reviews)

Do the Yeezy AQ-01 fit true to size or should you size down?

Yeezy officially says size down. In practice, owners are split: true to size fits like a glove with socks, while sizing down gives a snug, sometimes tight fit. Go true to size for room, size down for snug.

What should half sizes do?

Round down to the nearest whole size, otherwise the fit can be loose.

Are the AQ-01 comfortable?

Owners say yes, helped by a sizable cushioned insole, and they feel more premium than the earlier foam shoes. The right snug size is the most comfortable.

Where can you buy the Yeezy AQ-01?

The AQ-01 is easiest to find on the resale market: see current AQ-01 listings on eBay.
