This shoe is easy to wear, comfortable and provides good arch support and feels remarkably light in water. I bought it a size up thinking it would fit small (as some trainers do)but it fits true to size.

My wife wanted these shoes so she could have two pair. She teaches water aerobics 3 hrs/day and needs a dry pair each morning, so while she's wearing one pair the other is drying out.

This Speedo model outlasts shoes by other makers, is comfortable, and dries fast. In her 12 yrs of teaching she has tried many brands. This one is her choice.

These shoes (the pink ones) are really the cutest water-aerobic shoes I've seen. They do a great job in absorbing impact in my water aerobics class. My back is really sensitive and these shoes make a big difference. Only a few downsides: they're hard to put on and take off, they're too wide for my foot, and they take a long time to dry (more than overnight in a well-ventilated room). But overall they're great for water aerobics.

I purchased an 11 and normally I wear a 10 1/2, but since that wasn't available, this worked great. I would say they run on the small side since the 11 is OK, not too big. I had Rika pool shoes prior to these. THese don't have the support built in that the Rika did, but they work. I wear these 5 days a week for aqua pool classes. I had a little problem with the left shoe rubbing the edge of my foot, so I put a pair of short tennis socks on and then it was fine.

I AM A WATER AEROBICS INSTRUCTOR AND ORDER THESE FOR MY CLASS, THEY ARE GREAT SHOES FOR AEROBIC EXERCISE IN WATER, GIVE THE SUPPORT AND KEEP THE FEET SAFE FOR HARM ON THE CEMENT POOL FLOOR.

This shoe isn't even a year old and has NOT lived up to the typical "good" Speedo name. I participate in water aerobics on an average twice a week and am surprised and dismayed at the condition of these shoes currently. The rubber is peeling off the shoe in a number of areas. I usually purchase RYKA water shoes and since I have a number of Speedo swimsuits thought the Speedo shoe would be a good choice...WRONG! Also when comparing the support you feel when wearing this shoe to the RYKA...there is no comparison. The RYKA beats this shoe hands down! I CAN NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS SHOE.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and are excellent in a water exercise class. Make sure you choose the right size. Usually the same as your everyday shoes.

Make sure you wash them well after use. I lay them on a thick towel on the edge of the bath tub until the following morning. They are still pretty wet so put them over a heating grate (with the insoles out).

I'm not sure who fast they will dry in the summer as there won't be the added heat from a vent.

Enjoy because they give you lots of confidence in the water and on land. I'm not afraid of slipping or falling.

I teach 3-4 aqua aerobic classes a week and also try to join in as many as I can. I have only worn them a handful of times but the fit seems fine.... Like I read there is not the arch support that I had in the Ryka shoes I had previously, but I couldn't get my size and living in New Zealand I can't get them here!
They came within a working week too, so yet again Amazon a totally brilliant service...
They didn't rub the first few times I wore these and for the price I am very happy with them.

I have been taking water aeroboics for three months, when I began I was using some old water shoes that had flat soles. I was having lots of leg cramps and muscle aches in my legs. I also have plantar fascitis and it was becoming very painful. I asked the instructor which shoes she recomended, these are the ones she wears. I purchased these and as soon as I began using these shoes I noticed a big difference. I no longer have leg cramps and my feet feel much better with the support provided by these shoes. It was worth the price to pay for a good water shoe.

this Speedo trainer is true to size and efficient - not my very favorite but $20.00 less money than my usual choice of Ryka water shoe - perfectly fine for all INDOOR water exercise - not for beach or lake to my mind - I only shop Amazon verified purchases- have been teaching water aerobics 20+ years at YWCA
