Bathing shoes
This might sound like a dumb question, but I'm worried about swim shoes! My husband has a foot size (43-44 sizes, the foot is wide and high instep, he only picks up shoes with lacing for a sporty look. Will there be any problems with buying these slippers in Egypt, or look after yourself before the trip?

I can borrow :)
But seriously, I think that this will not be a problem. I found myself without problems even in Taba. Shoes are different, I think you will pick up something suitable. As for prices, our prices, for example, are lower than in Egypt (Western Ukraine).

In principle, in Hurghada you will not need shoes for swimming. But if you want to buy, then there will be no problems. Although shoes will cost more there.
I was already 3 times in Egypt and never used slippers. My advice to you: do not waste your money.
Have a nice holiday

I bought the 43rd size from my husband from us in sprat. shop
no problem (sizes were different)
the cost was (2 years ago) something around 80 UAH
But we saw them for sale at hotel shops.
so you can buy locally without any problems
maybe even cheaper than here :)

I have a high rise, wide and size 44-45...
In Egypt, there are "levandos" branded "CROCS" - they are wide, with holes, the back can be moved and flip flops can be made (such cast ones, similar to shoes ...)
The rest of the "infection" --- DOES NOT SUIT. The leg does not fit into the hole of these, such as coral slippers, and if it fits, then it is 3-5 sizes large.
I think the best option is to look at us. "Sportmaster", for example. For money, you can see Adidas and Reebok - I saw it on sale (they are positioned as footwear for water sports), cheaper than Joss-Russian production. In "Metro" I saw cool "Hi-tech "and they approached me, and the sale was only 190 UAH, but my wife dissuaded me because I bought fins ... which I recommend to your spouse (do not waste your money, but buy fins (by the way, a snorkel with a mask)).

When you look at the bottom in a mask, you will immediately want to put on shoes in slippers. And where to buy it doesn’t matter, but at home it’s cheaper.

When I went to Egypt for the first time, I bought ordinary sports shoes for 25 UAH in our market at a shoe collapse (so that it would not be a pity, so, for a couple of times to buy, like disposable ones. And then all of a sudden I won’t find anything for myself). I transferred a bunch of excursions and bathing to them, they still lie at home somewhere. Insure yourself with inexpensive and unpresentable sneakers from here, and there you will pick up something.

Ordinary sneakers, but better Boots with spikes are best. From my husband 45 - 46r, we bought coral slippers in Sharm for $ 5 without problems, but they can be said to be disposable, after touching the corals and, God forbid, steel with holes. Only swim in coral, on asphalt the studding is erased immediately.

I bought myself such shoes in Egypt when I was there for the first time. (I have not seen such slippers for sale in our country.), Still intact.
After that, I was in Egypt 4 more times, took it to the Crimea several times (I can’t walk on pebbles) and lent it to my girlfriends a couple more times. There are several types for sale (I recommend taking one so that the entire sole is in spikes). And the sizes of such shoes are all. I also have a high instep, but it is adjustable with a drawstring. Price from 5 to 10 dollars. Need to bargain. If you take more than one pair, then they are well inferior

Homes are definitely not cheaper. And Egi bought slippers for 4 USD. All sizes are available.

So I advise you to listen to those who advise you to buy fins. Slippers are exclusively for hippos that cannot float on water. If you know how to swim, then there is no need to walk on corals, break them and cut your legs.

No, I'm for slippers. Especially when it comes to children's feet. We bought these - http://www.detsad-shop.ru/index.php?cPath=30_119
Compared to crocs, it's cheaper and the quality is excellent
