dave tejcek: I dive in full foot fin and they work great to keep find from rubbing. On feet making sore spots after a long week of diving

Holly: This is a perfect size and fit for my full foot fin! It goes up on the ankle in the back to protect against blisters but is low profile around the sides and front. But not too low. It tapers nicely around the foot and there is no extra material that could loosen up in the water. I just got them so I am not sure how durable they are. But they are exactly what I was looking for to where inside my free diving fins!

David S.: These are a nice replacement for my old snorkel neoprene socks. Heel is high enough to cover the fin straps without being a full booty and still keeps the fins from rubbing. Size is true as listed. Ankona is a quality brand and I would definitely recommend. These are neoprene socks only. No rubber sole or non slip on this item. If you need a rubber sole of any kind you need to keep looking.

rif79: UPDATE May 21, 2012: So I took a closer look and there ARE side vents to drain water, so I WAS VERY WRONG. As such, I'm changing my rating back up to 5 stars and I'm going to reiterate that the side vents must make a big difference since the water that stays in the booties was only a little bit. I hate the water slosh effect on my feet, so I'm hyper sensitive about it and although I *noticed* water in them, it didn't drive me crazy. I recommend.

UPDATE May 18, 2012: I guess the description says there are side vents to drain water. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE PAIR I GOT. It looks like the same fabric is used for the entire booty, whereas in the photo, it looks like there are two different materials used. They still function how I need them to, but they DO retain water. If I recall correctly, I chose these over others because of the side vents even though they were thinner neoprene.

I've already done a seller review so I can't change that, but I'm lowering this rating to a 3 star because of the false advertising. I'll be happy to change it if anyone can demonstrate that I'm in error. Regardless, they're fine for what I need and...
