Are your scuba fins adjustable enough to allow you to use neoprene booties or even water walker shoes in them?
I use scuba fins, but NOT barefoot. I use the neoprene boots of my waders inside of surf shoes.
Is it your feet or legs that hurt? It may also be a problem with how you are using the fins. The shorter fins like Creek Co are good for reaching back and pulling forward,,,,scooping. The scuba style shine when using an up and down flutter kick with your legs out in front of you. You can also scoop with them but it will put some strain on your muscles after awhile if that is all you use them for.
good luck!
