Abstract
A water shoe which is comprised of a neoprene, polychloroprene, nylon, polyester or rubber material like upper boot or sock attached to a traction sole and having an elevated swim fin appendage which does not obstruct normal walking motion. The neoprene water shoe with an elevated swim fin appendage allows a user to walk with a normal stride on land and also to enter the water and engage in swimming activities without having to change into separate swim fins.

- An elevated swim fin appendage attached to said shoe portion, said elevated swim fin appendage having a neoprene, nylon, polyester or rubber material upper boot or sock and a lower traction sole surface;
- wherein a front edge of said elevated swim fin appendage protrudes forwardly beyond a front of said shoe portion a distance “L”, said distance “L” not obstructing a wearer from engaging in the normal walking motion;
- Said lower traction sole surface of said elevated swim fin measuring a distance “H” above a flat ground surface, said distance “H” not obstructing a wearer from engaging in the normal walking motion;
- Said elevated swim fin appendage including left and right side surface areas extending laterally beyond a footprint of said shoe portion, said side surface areas terminating approximately midway along said shoe portion;
- wherein said distance “L” ranges between 2″-8″ and said distance “H” ranges between 1.25″-2.5″.
