Pool shoes

I think they are a good idea.

It’s not what feels comfortable it’s what’s the right fit for your feet. Having different size feet is more common than having feet of the same size. Of course a shoe should accommodate the larger foot.

See a Podiatrist or almost any medical supply and get measured properly.
I’ve been measured by both. My Podiatrist measures me with an IPad in 3D.

The proper fitting footwear and a quality orthotic / insole is the only way to go.
The insoles that come with sneakers , loafers,
etc are garbage.

I have 30 - 40 pair of footwear and another 10 pair of deck boots, waders, hip boots, and then some.
I wear a custom orthotic in many of them and a quality insole bought separately in others.

You can buy a good pair of insoles starting around 40 bucks.They last about a year with normal use.
Your feet support all your weight.

Podiatrist?

An excellent cobbler can do at least as well.

They have 3D software as well, and can make you a custom last.

If you can get a clear pic of their shoes and scan it on the Google Lens app it will tell you the brand and model/product name. You can do the same for your own shoes if there's not a specific name on them, lots of brands will have the name on the outside or on the inner tongue or a product code that you have to search. Another pro tip is if I find a pair I like I will try to get 2 - 3 of the exact same pair because you may not need a new pair for several years but the longer that time span is the more difficult it'll be to find the exact same shoes. I also prefer charcoal darker gray shoes w no white on them so they don't show the stains, same with clothes!!

There's a junior tennis site that has the best players in the country ranked on it and most of the elite players have the racket brand, string(s), clothes and shoes that they wear. I would be more interested in what shoes players that I'm similar in age/height/weight and any simiilar health issues to than the top 5 players in the world!
 
Get a pair of lightweight Skechers slip on athletic wear shoes. The foam bottoms feel like you are walking on soft sand and
the light weight makes you feel like you aren’t even wearing footwear. Plus the color varieties, style and patterns are vast. If you can’t find Skechers footwear you like, then you’re a fussy shopper…..comfort and style await you @Skechers.com.

If you are playing in an event with a dress code, Skechers make some good, comfortable, all-black shoes.

I was already about to write that it seems most of AzBers don’t seem to play much under a dress code. Many times I practice with my tournament dress code compatible shoes to get used to them, especially with a new pair. The same goes with refereeing, new shoes need to be broken in before the actual tournament.
