Wetsox Thermals Wetsuit Socks | Comfortable, Insulated Diving & Surfing Socks for Cold Water, Non-Slip, Quick-Dry, Durable

Purchased these for my husband. This is his second pair. He is a SCUBA instructor so he’s in the water a lot! He loves how they fit and they help keep his feet warm.

When I surf in cold water, even with 7mil booties my feet are still the first thing to get cold, so it's great that these add an extra 1mm of insulation. They still fit inside my booties as is without having to size up. But the greatest thing is how much easier it makes putting on my heavy, old 6/5/4 wetsuit. My feet slip right through putting the wetsuit on, and even better it comes off so much easier without getting stuck on my heels. I used to bust my knuckles on the pavement desperately trying to free myself, but not anymore! My booties also come off so much easier, which I'm sure is saving wear and tear on them as well. It's also nice to have something on my feet while getting changed, which helps keep me from freezing standing on pavement in my bare feet. They fit tight against my calves and don't bunch up or get annoying while surfing. I highly recommend these!

Love these. Great for kayaking with water shoes.

I really like the Wetsox, they make putting on my booties and wetsuit easier and especially make taking off the booties after surfing a lot easier. The 1mm neoprene helps insulate my feet a bit more in the cold water, which is also a plus. Really the only thing I don't like is how small the toe box in the sock is, especially the big toe, which constricts my toes a bit more than I like, but if you have skinny toes this really won't be a big deal. But even with that, the socks are very flexible and you don't really notice much when you are in the water. Overall this i a great product and would recommend them to anyone that will be wearing a full wet suit and booties in cool/cold water.

I'd give it a 3.75 star rating if I could. These definitely add a bit of warmth under booties, they are very comfortable, and they do help to get your wetsuit off with less struggling. However, while surfing i've already had a couple of experiences of my booty and leash sliding right off of the sock at my foot/ankle. This occured while bailing after a ride and larger waves pulling my board when I can't keep it with me (and no, I am not one to commonly just bail my board). I have twice found myself swimming to shore to retrieve my board only to find the velcro on my leash strap still wrapped (i.e it wasn't leash velcro failure as my booty was half off my foot too). And yes, this actually did happen twice. I like this product for the previously mentioned attributes and will probably continue to use it....but I know to beware on bigger days and be sure to go extra snug on leash and booty strap!

Bought these (black, split toe, medium) for running rivers and general canoeing and water activities. I used them a few times on warm day short paddles, as with my light hybrid canoe you have to be in the water to get in the canoe. Was quite pleased at how comfortable they were and how well they fit, with no bumps at seams to irritate. The over-the-calf height is perfect and more comfortable than if standard crew sock height.I used them again in mid Sept on a five-day river trip along the Canadian border, where the benefits of these Therms Wetsox really became apparent.Trying them with two different types of water shoes (Keen water sandals and DOUSSPRT Men's Aqua Shoes), I was surprised at how comfortably warm they kept my feet on cold mornings, even when soaking wet. They don't feel soggy or cold. Didn't feel like they were slipping in my water shoes at all, either, and lent a sense of increased grip and cushion when pushing off rocks and climbing on root-laden shores, etc.Took a bit to dry at the end of the day, cool as it was, though after turning them inside out and flipping them a few times near the fire, they were ready to go for the next morning.Can't speak to how they are with wet suits, though for my purposes of running rivers, in and out of canoes all day, exploring side creeks and marshes on foot, being soaked up to our knees and clambering around rough shores, these Therms Wetsox have earned a permanent place with my canoe gear.

My open water ocean swims are so much better with these socks! They fit snugly and comfortably, and are long enough to stay safely tucked into my wetsuit legs. I’ve had them almost a year (and worn them on probably 30 open water swims) and they are holding up beautifully.

Thse help add a little warmth in the chilly water and help to get my wetsuit on. I wear these for diving and surfing, definitely recommend!!
