WATER
AEROBIC SHOES
When looking for water aerobic shoes you must look for shoes that will increase
buoyancy as well as protecting the foot from surfaces that can cause injury or discomfort. Water aerobics are
beneficial in many ways; however, improper shoes can make it difficult to continue and even
cause injury. A good pair of water aerobic shoes will offer traction to give you stability in the water. This will
increase the level of benefits in your workout and increase the level of enjoyment.
Water aerobics offers low and high impact exercises that are performed in the gentle
resistance of water. The joints, bones and muscles are protected during this exercise style that allows the
performer to stay cool while burning fat and strengthening the body. A good pair of water aerobic shoes only serves
to make the exercise experience better.
The water aerobic shoe should be breathable and a pair made with single layer mesh
will dry quicker and in cooler conditions as well as adding to the buoyancy of the wearer. Look for shoes that have
a closed heel that create ideal conditions for swimming and training in various bodies of water.
Additionally, the shoe should form to the shape of the foot and provide protection
from scratchy pool surfaces or gravel and stones in natural bodies of water.

More professional types of water aerobic shoes will offer buoyancy and increase the
drag in the water to tone the muscles without increasing the impact. Possibly the most important factor of any
water aerobic shoe is how comfortable it is. A shoe that has the qualifications stated above and is comfortable to
the wearer will help maintain the water aerobic workout.
Water aerobic shoes are available at most department stores, sporting good stores as
well as online. One brand of shoes for water aerobics that are among the top performers is the Speedo Surfwalker
Pro. This shoe has been designed for many types of water usage. Constructed from quick drying mesh material and
lined with an EVA insole, the wearer enjoys soft yet stable shoes that protect them from pool surfaces as well as
natural water surfaces. Additionally, the insole is removable to clean and allow drying outside the
shoe.
Water Walkers are another popular water aerobic shoe that increases the effectively
of the workout. These shoes can be used for water walking, water running, water step aerobics or water aerobics in
general. The Water Walker shoe uses wings to increase the resistance when stepping downward.
The result is burning at least twice the calories with every movement compared to
shoes without these unique wings. Use these water aerobic shoes in combination with a floatation belt to provide
low to no impact workouts with little gravity. The Water Walkers shoe is ideal for people who are recovering from
injuries as well as those with chronic illness that want to benefit from a water aerobic workout as part of a
healthy lifestyle.
