I find flexing the foot very bad for me. I have to be careful of certain types of shoes, etc.

If you think the flexing is the problem, I'd see a foot doctor and have some Xrays done if you haven't already. The little sesamoid bones in the ball of the foot, can really HURT, if damaged or if out of place. Or you may have arthritis of the big toe.
We do walking of all types in the pool... but especially on the balls of the feet... I have been told by my dr's that I have very little padding on the bottoms of my feet (hence the cushy sneakers). I just wish there was something I could do to avoid the flare... like numbing the bottom of my feet, or somehow finding insoles for my water shoes to make them like my sneakers.
