But I'm sure a daily 8hr sleep in water isn't something our bodies are ready for. What are probable effects? Can we mitigate them?

I'd imagine the effect was exasperated due to the pressure your feet are under when walking, whereas in a bath the weight is distributed and you're mostly buoyant. Its probably fine.

I actually didn't do much walking in them. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon/evening, with me mostly seated in an armchair and my legs put up, so the wet shoes didn't soak my furniture.

Personally, I even thought a bit of pressure might have stopped my skin from bloating quite as much.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
