I'm doing daily physical rehab in swimming pool. Will they protect the soles of my feet from the rough pool surfaces.

We bought them to protect my son's feet from the rough pool surfaces. His toes were always abraded to the point where I couldn't take his agony anymore. The socks worked perfectly for this purpose and he thought they were very comfortable for swimming and looked "cool". However, he wore right through the material after about 5-6 uses. He wore through the big toe areas because he'd bounce off the bottom of the pool with his big toes since he was too short to touch the bottom. To make it through the summer, I patched with duct tape. Worked well enough since it was the end of the summer, but I don't think I'd buy these again. He definitely needs something with a rubber bottom or something more rub resistant.

Although my daughter has only used these in beach sand, I would imagine they would protect your feet for a period of time in the pool. However, it is material and not rubber or some other hard sole surface. Thus if the pool is considerably rough, the material would eventually deteriorate. I would recommend water shoes verses sand socks for very rough pool surfaces.

I think they would. We use them for sand volleyball and when the sand is moist it gets packed and hard. Even in intense playing my husband's feet are always perfect. The material on the bottom of the sock I think, would keep your feet protected from the pool.

I would say it is worth a shot. I use the extra coarse on really bad areas and then wash my feet, cover them with EucErin from the tubs (extra thick) and I can't believe how much better my feet are. You will notice a differeeve after the first use and be pretty happy after several uses which become necessary less frequently.

Yes! My kids wore them at the beach to protect their feet from the hot sand. We've also used them in the pool to protect feet from rough cement.

I Noted the gunite feet allow the Navigator to climb the walls of my pool lot easilier. Draw back gunite feet seem to wear faster than the Vinyl feet.

Your feet definitely get wet, they have grip on the bottom to prevent slip & falls only. Not waterproof

Yes, it's perfect for that because your feet are touching a surface. I'm using it in the surf of Hawaii right now but it doesn't measure swimming kicks, just the steps.

My husband and I wear ours daily in our pool. If we "should" I can't answer. However, I will say they do fine with our water exposure.

Hi heals will be an issue. These are thin and depending on how sharp the heal is and how rough the surface you walk on will be, they will rip if the heels are pretty pointed and if the surface you walk on is rough. On smooth floors or carpets they're fine but heels cannot be too pointed.

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

Hi,My husband said no they would scratch the floor, he said you would need foam or rubber, I hope this helps you.Darlene

Yes, they could work. However, they were not designed to be used around a pool as the tiles are hard. There are other version (not from BlockTile) that are softer with better traction control when used barefoot. These tiles are designed for patio floors and garage floors.

Walking barefoot on these mats would be hard on the feet. I tried it. However, the material they are made from is impervious to water so they would be fine for an underwater application.

They can be wore alone. For the pool I wear aqua shoes over them in the winter because I water jog and skip a lot and I want to stay warmer. Men's Medium for 8.5 should be ok. I wear women's size 7 and a small is perfect. Just a tad big in the toe box but not bad and actually works better so you have the room you need. I like mine. Well worth the money I spent. Hope this helps.

I don't think you want to get them wet. Mine are around the pool on cement but the rain must have gotten water in the tubing. I saw that under some feet were brown rusty marks.

They might, but you might want to get the type that comes up over the ankle. I walked along the beach and in water up to my knees and got some sand in them. Not a lot, though.

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...

I use mine in the fall and winter to get in and out of my kayak without getting my feet wet and cold. They are waterproof so I'm not sure they would work well for your purpose. Might look into water shoes specifically made for pool use.
