I bought these shoes for a water aerobics class that I was taking.  Great traction on the wet deck floor as well as in the pool.  Only downside is that the laces don't like to stay tied during water aerobics.  I fixed this by having to tuck the laces into the interior of the shoe - not the most comfortable, but it works.  Overall these fit my need which was to prevent my feet from getting raw from the pool floor during class.
