Due to a knee problem I am unable to use conventional cross training machines.   As a result I have started to run in the pool.    
These shoes with their textured soles are great for this.

My  husband got a pair of these last year at a surf shop in FL.  He never goes without some kind of watershoe while walking on the beach or at our lake.  When we went to get another pair, the owner said that they weren't in the Oneill catalogue anymore and we couldn't get them, so we came home, looked them up online and ended up ordering them from you.  He commented that these are the best ones he's ever had (and he's had them all over the las 30 years).  They provide support while
walking, are comfortable, and come up high on his foot, making for a
snug fit.  We'll order another pair just because he's afraid we won't find them anywhere else.  Great price too!

These O'Neil Reef Boots are a great all-around shoe.  I love the fit and feel, and they provide excellent traction on wet and uneven surfaces!

The answer to 'barefoot' in winter...use this shoe in a larger size with a HEAVY wool sock...excellent !

I like the material on surrounding area, it felt comfort for surfing.

I bought these hoping that I could use them with my jetfins. They work okay, you just have to be careful; when positioning the strap on the back of your foot. They are well constructed and are useful for just walking around the pool and light pool excercises.
