Has anyone heard of this technique or used it in swim practices?
It seems to do nothing for me other than takes 2 min to do a 50 !!
I would rather use small fins or just use my own 2 feet !
... and you still should feel the water on the front and back of your feet with the shoes on.
...
Can you please explain how one "feels" the water through the tops and soles of sneakers? Are you saying you should kick so hard you feel the pressure being exerted on the tops and soles?
I suspect what makes this seem to work is the shoe negates the flexibility of the foot altogether, although the ankle is still free to move. Similar to how fist gloves remove the extension and movement of the fingers while allowing the wrist movement during a pull set.
