Love, love, love these shoes. I'm a Water Fitness Instructor and these shoes are amazing. They have a good amount of cushion that doesn't get in the way of their ability to drain water, and they support my high arches. I've never liked the way water socks feel or look, but these look like normal tennis shoes that go in the water. Everyone asks where I got them. I will buy several new pairs when these wear out. Love these!
