This is a picture of them.

But with swimming pool rules, they may not let them in. Germs/dirt and all that? If you had a pair just for that pool, and kept them there, they might let you do it.

I bought the men's in a smaller size, because they are wider, and I now need the wider toe box. The men's are black and gray only, no pink for them!

Our summer place has only rocks, and very little sand. So we need foot protection. These are the nicest ever..that I have found. In the old days we just wore old tennies, and those were not great, and never dried out well.

This link is for the picture only...as an example:

Amazon has these along with reviews by people who have bought them. Some say they wore them in water aerobics (one person said the water aerobics hurt his feet without them).
Interesting... they seem to only care if you try to wear sneakers or high heels in... something not meant to be in water... I'm thinking I might experiment with gel cushions... is this a bad idea in water?
