This is the perfect watershoe for ALL water activities. I use them for water aerobics and they are the best! The powerdrain is lightweight, very comfortable and supportive, easy on and off, with adjustable stretch laces (to tighten). It has a unique drainage system that prevents water from soaking the shoe, while doing water exercises and moving freely, without being weighed down. There is excellent traction safety under the shoe that prevents slipping while in or out of the water. I rinse them out in cold water, they dry very fast with a removeable insole. This shoe has a good sturdy quality that is made to last. I also got a lot of compliments  on them because they are so cute! They run a little big, so I went with a half size smaller- perfect fit!  I LOVE the new Columbia Powerdrain watershoe -a step above Columbia Drainmaker (no cotton laces to tie or shoe tongue to adjust. I am very happy (with the choice) of purchasing this product.
