I needed shoes for water aerobics, and these seemed decent for the price. Other water shoes can run $80-$90.  PROS: They protect my feet from being scraped on the floor/walls of the pool and provide some traction. They are lightweight, stay on during rigorous exercise, and allow water to flow in and out easily.  They seem true to size. Finally, they look OK and they are super easy to get on and off. CONS: The left shoe has rubbed my pinky toe raw. I'll give it some time and see if that resolves--could just be me. Secondly, on certain wet tile floors, they are still a bit slick (might be true of any shoe). Finally, they don't dry very fast. This is a dry Colorado summer, and after evening water aerobics they're still damp the next morning. Overall, though, I am happy with these.
