I got these shoes for water aerobics because my other shoes weren't very supportive and my feet were hurting after class. These fit well, have a lot of support with the padded, removable insole and thick outer sole.  My feet are already feeling better!  They can be worn outside the water with a light sock as well!  The only negative I will say is that they hurt my feet a bit on top but most slip-ons or lace ups do that because I have nerve damage in that area. Those who aren't bothered by that problem should be ok.
