I have flat feet..and so very thin natural  patting on the bottom of my feet it is hard to walk bare foot, so when I walk around a pool or across the room I need something on my feet, other I have great deal of pain.

So when my old pool sandals, deck shoes is a more appropriate name,  finally wore out, not bottom, but the way the straps were attached to the base' I began looking for a replacement.

I shopped Big 5 etc.. but could not find anything in my size,,, (15), or what I even wanted, they had sandals  that go between toes, I did not like those because they hurt in between my toes. I looked on Amazon. an found these water shoes.

To my surprise they fix perfectly, and I did not need socks on to cushion my feet.

I would walk the length of the pool to strengthen my legs and my feet would hurt, yesterday I have a brain Storm, Dave, try using the water shoes in the pool, I remembered in years past I would wear my walking shoes to go up ladders to dive, and keep them on in the pool, in Palm Springs, that is when they had a High Dive at the Motel we stayed there when the kids were small 50 years ago, I put them on went in the pool and they worked great. so now I have pool side shoe, and a shoe to use in the pool..  So if anything I have said about these shoes appeal to you.. GET THEM.

If they do not work the way you expect, don't call me,  send them back at no charge, I think?&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Columbia-Men-s-Techsun-III-Water-Shoe/dp/B0057NCB3E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Columbia Men's Techsun III Water Shoe</a>
