Slippers

Swimming slippers not only protect the soles of the feet from abrasion against the pool walls but also help athletes quickly adapt to the water temperature.
Materials and design

The material and design of slippers typically feature lightweight, waterproof materials such as EVA, rubber, or soft PVC, with a focus on breathability, wear resistance, and comfort. Some styles also incorporate anti-slip patterns and ergonomic designs to enhance practicality.

Athlete reviews

Athlete experience

Many swimmers have stated that slippers are essential equipment during training, especially before and after competitions. Comfortable slippers can prevent foot injuries and discomfort.

Shortcoming

The drawbacks of slippers include their tendency to wear out easily, inadequate support (which can lead to foot issues with prolonged use), insufficient anti-slip properties (making them prone to slipping on wet surfaces), and the fact that some low-cost materials are not breathable, leading to stuffy feet.
