I bought these slides for one reason - to keep my feet off the floor in the gym locker room.  They are perfect.  They are easy to slide into and out of.  They are comfortable.  I wear them into the shower, and they dry quickly as they are relatively smooth (no little places for water to sit).  The holes in the soles also allow water to drain away.  For the money, I am extremely pleased.  They would also work well at the pool, or in any other wet environment where you want an easy on / easy off choice for footwear.
