Body Glove''s water feet worked perfectly for me. I read other reviews before purchasing and realized that they ran large. I usually wear a 61/2 - 7 shoe so I purchased a 6 and they fit fine. I was worried about my feet being too boyant while swimming and they worked perfectly allowing water to flow through them. Also the thin rubber bottoms give me just enough protection when pushing off the pool floor while doing running work. Quality is good.

I bought these for my water aerobics class and they are AWESOME!! They help me balance myself in the water and I don''t slip like I use to in the regular water shoes. I am going to by another pair!

These shoes are wonderful. I run in the water for aerobic exercise. After knee replacement my regular aqua shoes was not giving me enough traction or support. The Body Glove Barefoot Max are supportive with traction to keep me from twisting or sliding. The web site instructs you to go down a size, which I did. The fit is perfect!

I do water aerobics 3-5 x weekly.  These shoes are great on my feet; fit right and the colors aren''t fading due to chemicals in the pool water.  They''re also very comfortable; more than I expected.  The design is just a hoot!  So much fun!  I get comments on them every day and look forward to putting them on.

These were replacements for a pair I had purchased 6 months ago.  I am a swim teacher,  I work in a 90 degree pool.  I am in the water 8-12 hours per week.  After 6 months, my last pair completely fell apart.  And I mean completely.  I have sent them back and you people were nice enought to send me a new pair under warranty.  I assume in 6 months, we''ll be doing the same thing.  But when they stay togerther, they are extremely comfortable and easy to swim in.

Used for water aerobics 3x per week.  Dry very very fast.  Easy to put on/take off.  Love them!  Wish they were still available to purchase for family members!

I use these every day to do water exercises to save the bottoms of my toes and give me sure footing.  They feel great and I hate taking them off but the I think the holes in the bottom may let sand in (Florida).  I ordered my normal 8, although I can sometimes wear a 7 1/2. They were comfortable but there was almost an 1" in the large toe.  Replaced with 7 and fit like second skin but harder to get on.  Love them and so glad I purchased them.

I bought these to wear for my water aerobics classes (I go 3-4x / week) & they are perfect!  Water flows through them easily, I get good traction on the pool''s floor.  I am so glad I checked the sizing chart ~ I wear a 10 shoe, it was recommended I order a 9, which I did & the fit couldn''t be more perfect. The first time trying them on was tricky - getting my second toe in, but now it is no issue at all ~ they slip on easily.  I highly recommend them!

I needed new shoes for my aqua aerobics class and decided to give these a try.  They are quite different from the Ryka''s I had been wearing, so it took me a few days to get used to them.  They are very comfortable and easy to get on/off.  The fit is quite snug.  I like the fact that they are light weight and therefore dry quicker than my previous shoes.  They do not have the padding I was used to, and this gives them a feeling like you are gripping the bottom of the pool.  I cannot speak to the long-term use, but I would buy them again if I had to make the decision today.  They seem to be true to size, but since I am a 6-1/2 or 7 (and bought a 7), I think I would buy a 6-1/2 next time because they seem to stretch a bit when they get wet and are used on the bottom of the pool.

Bought these at the advise of our martial arts instructor. Have used for several classes and long walks on beach, sidewalks. Great for both, really comfortable, rather easy to put on. Just make sure the second toe is in place and you''re good to go. Works for martial arts because they are less sticky than other brands, allowing proper rotation for kicks. The back ties are becoming unsewed, but hand stitching will fix. I''m also putting them through their paces more than made for.
