Could you walk on these with bare feet without hurting your feet? I would like to use them on the steps leading up to our pool.

yes, I use them on my wooden deck stairs leading to pool and playground area..I hammered them in with thick metal staples to hold in place when the kids run on them.

I would think that these would be ideal for steps to a pool. I have three sets covering a 12 foot ramp and they are great. I feel very secure and walking is a problem for me.I have had no slippery feeling when it rains. I would recommend them.

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

I had to look up the M.P.S.Spa. I think, I said think they would work fine on the exterior. Evidently you don't have a built in spa, no deck? If it sits on ground/earth, I'd suggest a wooden/cement platform to sit the plastic on. I'm not sure of top weight allowed, as there is no buffer of water. You certainly don't have to anchor it from floating. My best suggestion is to put a gate on it to prevent young children from going into it to tragedy. I'm very happy with these steps, in fact, just removed them from pool today, put away for winter. This is my first summer, they still look like new, no cracks or discoloration from sun. Good luck, Cathy

You certainly can. There is no adhesive to worry about, They fit snuggly under your insole and do not slide.

I wouldnt try it with bare feet. I use it with my socks and training shoes on, I hope that answer your question. I read from one of the reviews somewhere on the net to use shoes. I love my Ironman it works really good.

I'm not sure if they would stay in place underwater. You could walk on them barefoot.

Yes, you can wear them on a wood floor without shoes. I got a full year out of a pair before they wore through. There is traction material on the bottom so they grip a little bit.

Our pool is 24' and is most likely slightly deeper in the middle..so I would think so. there is a way to accommodate for a flat or sloped pool by the way you put the "feet" on the bottom of the steps. We absolutely love the steps. They are exactly what we were looking for!!

I doubt that you can. It would surely not be recommended but, I guess if you drilled hole in enough places to allow water inside the steps, they would be easier to keep down. This probably will effect the integrity of the steps and I would not do it. I used the sand and it made my steps very stable.

Yes, you must be careful in putting these on before venturing outside. I always make it a point to sit on the step and put them on my running shoes to ensure I dont scratch up my wood floors, small price to pay when I get the traction needed to do my long runs in snow and ice conditions.

I would say you can but it would be a little uncomfortable. I use my flip flops and it works just fine.

These are designed for wooden steps though I suppose it MIGHT be possible to brick steps. There are probably better suited products for brick but I personally wouldn't try it.

hi Ursula, i wouldnt do it. these are made to relax but more of a still kind of way, not for walking around much either. hope this helps

I would say no. The feet on these are for walking in the water but you should put on water shoes with the feet so you don't cut them on anything. Lobster men would have reinforced boots on them.

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.

I guess you can. I never walk around barefoot so I usually go on wearing my slippers.

Sorry i just walk my dogs - no running. I would have thought they would be ok, but depending on the thickness of the soles of the shoes you are using you might feel the studs so it might not be very comfortable after a while. They are very stable though so you wouldn't slip!

Hi Linda, Yes, they are great for deep water walking. I walk in 4" water. I especially like that you can adjust the weights. Kathie
