Try a speciallist swim place as they have all kinds of pool side shoes. I don't know any web sites, but I know there is a mail order catalogue called swimshop that does quite a few (dunno how you'd get hold of one though as my house only gets sent it cos my lil bro and sis are ASA registered swimmers and so it comes with their mags)

Or these are very fetching poolwear

Most probably, that's the kinda thing I've seen in the catalogue. I think Speedo make them, as do Maru and possibly TYR.

Super_Si- I bought a pair of Nike diving shoe type thingys when I was in Florida as they seemed to be available in every sport shop.

They have shown no sign at all of falling apart and were very comfortable.

They were dark blue and elasticated with the usual Nike tick on the sides.

I seem to remember they were almost pence too. (OK Cents).

Just found this although they look a bit more flash than my plain blue but they are the same shoe.

Whats wrong with the trusty 'flip flops' ?

Make sure you get proper pair though, you would look silly in a pair of 'flip flips', or even a pair of 'flop flops'.

If you put them on the wrong feet you end up with a pair of 'flop flips'.

Not cool at all......

Flip flops are pretty much a no go area for me, prefer something more manly

I'll second the 'water socks'. Flip flops should only be worn by tight speedo wearers

You are funny, I wish you where poncing around my pool.

Water socks is what they are called by Nike so water socks they are.

They are just really thin trainers that you can wear in or out the water, it's that simple I'm sure even you can grasp that.

I am funny granted but I could never see myself mincing around your pool with you and your chums in your flourescent flip flops and hankerchief headgear.

You Pims drinker you!

I will let you off, they look OK.

I had images of those nodder's they made you wear at the school outing to the baths.

I still preffer my flip flops with built in foot massagers though.

And whilse on the subject, whats wrong with Speedos ?

They do a nice line in thong wear at the moment, flip flops and a thong, and maybe a Cornetto, yep thats me......
