Other than a few bucks, you really have nothing too lose and much to gain. Nothing is worse than having sore feet for whatever reason.

Sore feet lead to all kinds of injuries as you/your body, compensates in hope of lessing the discomfort/pain.

Works its way north, ankles/knees, then hips and lower back.
Good supportive/comfortable shoes are a must whether you dry or wet foot. Blisters are the enemy of both styles.
