I'm hurting my feet, help!

[avillax]

For some reason my feet are getting constantly hurt. I'm getting, cuts, bruises, bloated etc. Maybe I have sensitive feet.
But it's actually hurting and hurting my performance so what kind of gear would you suggest?, I wonder I can buy like some kind of very light surfing shoes, non invasive and maybe even flounder perhaps?

Any ideas?, recommendations?. Thanks.

Surf booties - plenty of people wear them for foot protection when surfing reefs. There are plenty of makes/models; you can go for the 1mm ones (reef booties) or the thicker ones (which also help in cold water). I've never worn them, some people hate the feel but I gather most people get used to them within a surf or two.

Here's a good selection of booties /endplug

Dude - Run barefoot on wet sand at a beach a few times a week - problem solved (after a few weeks of pain and suffering) - you currently have soft feet and stabilising muscles.

I do, and I thought I needed a bit of time for my feet to develop protection on their own, actually I developed a bump on top of my right foot and no more pain over there, but the sole of my feet is still tender, plus winter is coming and I don't know if I will need them for the cold, I just bought a 4/3 wetsuit and hadn't even minded the cold on my feet, I can kill two birds with one stone, for the cold in california which booties do you recommend?

av ^ - my mom just got bumps . . . she's 78yrs old and ain't never surfed (though she did drive my VW surf rat van once !) . . . bumps so soon is ballax - tender feet is tender feet, there are external influences but on a good day all should be fine. Booties for Cal . . . some will fold under your toes as you pop-up and some will be awesomely awesome depending on your feet! Just go seek. [ I could equate your biophysical circulation vs Q and T but hey . . you ain't gonna come by my house soon . . . . are you !] . . . we all get sore feet - unless we are standing surfing on a wave - so just go surf!
