I felt more grounded with the shoes on and therefore could participate in the water aerobics with confidence. I checked true to size but actually the shoes are bigger than what I would have purchased (I wear an 8 and a half shoe). However, it seems to work all right.
I like the pull ties that make the shoe very flexible width-wise. I have wide feet so I often need to order size up - in this case that meant I got a shoe that was too long. I should have just got my correct size. Overall the shoe seems sturdy and well made with no unpleasant interior lumps. (I've had that problem with other inexpensive water shoes.) Unfortunatley too long for me, but otherwise very good shoes.
These shoes were used to walk on the beach and lava rocks of the sacred Hawaiian island of Kanaloa (a.k.a. Kaho'olawe) that was recently returned to the Hawaiian people by the US Navy. They were flexible and durable enough to handle walking on the rocks, and light enough to easily fit in my back pack. fabulous product at a GREAT price!
This is my first pair of this type of swim shoe, they are comfortable and have no problem with them doing aerobics in the water. I normally take a 9 1/2 shoe but had to get a 10 in womens, they stay in place and I would order them again.
good
I was very skeptical when shoes arrived. Felt very light weight - almost cheap, but when I wore them to water aerobics I felt like I had nothing on my feet which was great. I'm curious to see how well they will hold up.
