    I know the tan ones have been shown, but I own a pair of the black ones. They are great! Quite the arm workout but it feels better to have fully webbed fingers!

    Raina if you want a pair I could get them an mail them to you if you want. An when I get them all I would have to do is change the shipping address to yours.

    I know this is a pretty old thread but I found these tonight for anyone interested:

    Aside from the logo they look pretty webbed for swimming.

    Didn't read all the answers, but:
    swim gloves don't enhance the mermaid experience, because in tailswimming or dolphin kick, you don't use your hands (except maybe a bit when turning or holding a position, and you really don't need webbed gloves for that).

    They can be fun if you do another aquatic workout, but that's about it.

    I found I can turn better if I make my hands like I'm cupping something.
