as a water jogger, i need a shoe that will give me traction to really move through the water. this shoe fits the bill and gives me shock absorbtion as well. it is a clunky looking shoe, heavy, and runs slightly small. i don''t find that it rubs or pinches even after an hour of jogging. it dries fairly quickly and so far seems to holding up to the daily chlorine.

I teach water areobics and swim lessons and these shoes are more of a hiking shoe not a shoe for in-water applications. They rub my toes and heels and need to be worn with socks to keep them from rubbing.
