Thanks for the suggestions but I ended up running barefoot and did just fine.

I don't think you will swim in them, so put an old pair of running shoes at the swim end to wear!

I usually just wrap around the balls of my feet with duct tape to keep my feet from getting to beat up.

I second that. The KSO model is very handy in such circumstances.

Vibram fivefingers flow are designed for water sports. They probably aren't the fastest, but barefoot would be. They're a little expensive, but I would highly recommend them. they're incredibly comfortable. www.vibramfivefingers.com/.../Five-Fingers-Flow-Womens.htm

Hi In Japan, I've seen these for sale. They are called "Aqua Run" by Oka. Click on the link for images. store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/.../mt308.html They have a grip sole, toe compartments, but the heel is exposed. They are not exactly transition shoes from swimming. These kind of shoes are actually grip shoes for people that walk laps in the pool and provide grip for aquarobics classes in the pool, but they could serve your purpose as well. I imagine they would be comfortable to swim in. It's like a foot glove. They are around 20-25USD. Your only problem might be sizing though. Japanese feet are smaller. The large size caters for 27cm foot-length. Actually, I found the site in English for you. They should be able to ship internationally maybe. en.item.rakuten.com/.../
