Bought these shoes for water aerobics at the gym. They are lightweight and fit perfectly. They help with my footing on wet surfaces. They did fade but I am using them in chlorinated pool.
I got these for hubby and a womens' pair for me. We run in the pool for exercise. As the bottom of our local community pool is a rough, I purchased these shoes for he and I to help us better grip the pool's bottom. I don't know how long they last. These are our first pairs.
Paid a little more for the water shoe; however, it is worth the additional cost. Has held up well so far. Have now ordered a second pair in a different color. Highly satisfied with this product.
I selected this model over several others because they advertised removable footpads and this model did not. I do not like removable footpads as in my experience they come out everytime I take them off and slipping the limp pads back into alignment is difficult and tedious. Sadly, after just a couple of uses (and not even in water) the pads came loose and I had "removable" footpads, negating the reason for buying this particular model. If I'd have known ALL models have this irritating feature I'd have gotten a more substantial pair.
Bought them for my Honey since he has MS, needs to use them in pool for better traction and control. He had a pair before and wore them out, they have been the best for him in safety, affordability. Bottom line, [...] we appreciated the super service.
