Wow, these water shoes have been very helpful for exercise routine walking in the swimming pool! I have several very large calluses on my feet, the shoes have made my swimming pool walking much more comfortable. The shoes are very flexible when i walk on my toes for some of my walking routines exercise. The rubber treads on the bottom of the shoes help prevent slipping on the swimming pool deck and the shower areas,

The shoes have holes in the bottom of them which allows the swimming pool water to drain out, this feature is excellent as some water shoes become very heavy as the water does not drain out. I did find the shoes were a little small, i ordered a second pair a half a size less and that fit very well. The cost of these shoes are much less expensive than many water shoes, another advantage of these shoes is they are very light weight which helps me walk quicker and they dry quickly.  The shoes are very good walking on a rocky or sandy beach which eliminate getting cut by sharp rocks and sea creatures The bottom line is these shoes are excellent quality at an affordable cost.
