Name-brand water shoes - experiences?

[BFwillie_g]

Hi,

I've pretty much settled on water shoes as my go-to when I just can't go BF. One of the cool things about them is the price, allowing me to experiment with different brands. The thing is, living in the Bavarian countryside means I can't just pop over to Sports Authority (or Wally Mart or whereever it you all shop) and try a few out - I have to buy online. So I'm just looking for suggestions of brands to try out.

I bought a pair of Body Glove's when I was in NY over Thanksgiving and I'm really happy with them, btw.

Anybody know of any that have a bit more grip to the sole?

What about Speedo? They look pretty interesting, too.

I do the same thing. I use the Sports Authority ones that I can pull the soul out. I don't know what the brand is on them, but they work fine for me. I don't see the sense in spending more than $10 if you need something to run on the road.

However, most of my road/bikepath running is BF. I only use the water shoes when its really cold out or if my feet are sore for some reason.

MC - Yours might be Body

MC - Yours might be Body Glove's also. I think that's where I got them and they cost $10. The insoles lasted about five miles and then I threw them away ...

I pulled the insoles out when I got home. I wanted more "ground feel".

They work pretty good.



They last a long time too, since I only use them in bad weather. ;-)

I like the Speedo kind with the zipper a lot in winter. In summer the insole that is glued on comes loose when I don't run with socks. Unfortunately the price on them has almost doubled. I must have recommended them in too many places.
