I purchased these for H20 bootcamp (Water Aerobics).  They were a 100% the way to go.  This was a smart purchase, if I say so myself. I no longer slip on the tiles on the bottom of the pool. I move faster while running and jumping in the pool.  Every step has a natural and sure footed grip, much like being barefooted.  No more raw feet from scraping the bottom of the pool during class. Fila Women's Skele-Toes EZ Slide shoes are awesome for an aquatic environment.  And it didn't hurt that the price was right either!
