aahhh I know, I think I have something similar in the past but still it made of plastic and more like slippers than a shoe, LOL. You are right, who care about what we wear as long as we are happy with it. I think that what's "you don't walk in my shoes" phrase all about (I know, it's not the correct meaning).

I have a special sock for swimming here to prevent my toes from broken pool's floor until I found this pinky cheapy thingy shoei. I use it to protect my feet from the plastic silicon frog fin/flipper. I'm kinda a beginner who wear everything before I jump to the pool. The finger's fin. the swimming cap, ear plug, bose clips, frog fin and of course swimming suit, hahahha. My friends at the pool can't help but sigh when I go to the deepest part of the pool alone after 3 times of swimming with them. My hubby is a good trainer and I'm a quick learner. As long as I have my swimming equipments, I can spend hours in the pool.

I wonder whether you have any boots in your collection .. LOL
