I want to wear these on the beach and in the water. Are these able to get wet?

I purchased for my father and he loves them and wore them everyday in the Caribbean, they are ok for beach/sand but definately would not be suitable to get wet

How wide is the sole at the widest part on a size 8 ?

Inside the sandal at the widest point is 12 centimetres. The widest part of the outer sole is 12.5 centimetres.

The description: "closed toe sandals" seems inaccurate. what is really being sold?

Hello Mr Thomsen, I agree. The term 'closed-toe' is confusing. Two words come to mind: Ambiguous and Differentiation. Closed-toe means just that i.e. the toes of the feet are fully enclosed. However, the term 'sandal' is commonly understood to mean a form of footwear that leaves all or most of the foot exposed. The problem is differentiation between what we all call Flip-flops, which is to say footwear that has a toe-post or thong that passes between the first and second toe and footwear which has a strap called a latchet or sabot strap that passes over the arch of the foot or around the ankle. My feeling is that these very well-made and in my experience, lightweight and comfortable sandals need only be called that...sandals. What you see in the Amazon website offer is what you get. I bought the brown colour and can confirm that these met my own requirements in full. I should ignore the 'closed-toe' part of the description and focus on the correct tern 'sandal. Hopefully this will dissipate any ambiguity. Keep well. My best regards. David
