I really liked these when they arrived but they are a bit too big. I had read the reviews of other before buying them and choosing my size but I guess it just want accurate advise for me. I will try to return them and get a size smaller. I really liked the design with plenty of holes in the bottom to let the water flow through buy with a good thick sole. The thing I haven't liked about traditional water shows is the water pools in the sole making it heavy and thus pulls off (or attempt to) when doing water aerobics. I liked that this show comes up more to the ankle to help keep it on in conjunction with the thick sole and multiple holes to let water flow out/threw.
