I started doing water aerobics over 2 years ago and my first pair of water shoes fell apart after just a couple of months. Then I found these Cudas Shasta shoes and I love them. After over twice weekly classes, for two years, I just bought my second pair of the Shasta shoes. The first ones are still in good shape, but the bottom tread had started to wear down a bit. But, the stitching, fit and everything else are still good, after over 200 visits to the pool. I also love design of the Shasta. With the cross straps over the top of my foot they not only look cute, not like bulky foot socks, but they stay on my feet throughout any exercise our instructor throws at us. My one piece of advice - buy them one size smaller than your shoe size, which is really true of any water shoe you may buy. Don't worry, all water shoes tend to stretch out a bit after use and they'll end up fitting just fine. I hope they never stop making this water shoe. I may even buy a "back up" pair, just in case.
