text: bought these for the swimming pool to pool jog in and do water aerobics.  First day i had them in the pool the inner insert came out.  There isnt a lot of padding per say either so my feet ached.  These shoes in my opinion are probably good to wear in the shower, walking on hot sand etc.  Since i wanted a thicker bottom water shoe to withstand running across the pool i ended buying the RYKA Women's Hydro Sport Water Shoe.  What a difference now theres a shoe for the pool, i'm just saying.....
