jmumv: These are nice and thin. They are stretchy and slick. Since it doesn't have a heel, it fits most people. It prevents friction between skin and fin. It's not meant to provide any padding, so it's really meant for tight fins and blisters. The only thing I don't like is the seam along the toes that kept rubbing. It moves around to create some chaffing on the skin. After hours in the water, I got blisters on my toes anyway, so consider what you really need them for. I ended up using Nexcare Absolute waterproof bandage instead.

Jim: I bought these for use with fins while doing drills in the pool. Using the fins without any type of sock was giving me blisters on my feet so I got these in an effort to add some protection. They're working great! I've had them for a few weeks now, using them 2 to 3 times a week, typically 400m to 600m per session. I haven't had any problems with blisters since I've started using them. They seem to be holding up fine so far with no signs of wear. I rinse them with cold tap water after each use and let them hang dry. There is a seam that runs the length of the sock and across the toes. As long as I get it positioned right when putting them on I don't notice it at all while swimming. We'll see how well they hold up over time, and I'm sure the chlorine will break them down some, but so far I'm very pleased, these meet my needs, and I'll get another pair when/if these wear out.

Tyler&Emily: Great addition to my snorkeling arsenal. I bought these on a whim thinking it might be nice to keep the sand from chafing my feet. they fit very well as a one size fits all. its a bit weird where there is no heel in the sock, yet it is actually quite comfortable once you have them on. especially once they are wet. they keep your feet from burning too badly on the sand, however on a hot day you still need a pair of flip flops, or shoes. they are also very comfortable in a pair of fins. i would imagine they are not for super cold water however in Hawaii or California they were perfect. they do help your feet stay warmer than when you dont have anything on. i had no chafing whatsoever with a few snorkel trips lasting over an hour. the material feels quite nice even when wet. they dont stick to your skin like regular socks do when wet. there is a seem in them running the length of the sock, you just need to position the seam on the side of your foot, then you dont even feel it at all. a great pair of socks and at a good value!

GLS: These are fantastic. I snorkeled 4-5 hours a day with these on and did not get any blisters over a 9 day vacation. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They fit me (women's 8.5) and my husband (men's 9) well, but they might not work as well for people with much larger feet. It was nice to be able to get out of the water, and take off my fins, then take the sand off with my socks! They aren't super protective on rough terrain due to their thinness, but it felt much better than bare feet. A few stray pieces of sand were sometimes stubbornly stuck on them, but they generally cleaned off very easily. Make sure you consider your socks when fitting your fins, as my husband got too tight fins and the socks did not work as well for him.

Joyce Barbarich: I am SO happy with this purchase. Every type of snorkel fin I’ve tried chafed a toe or part of my foot. Regular socks made it worse. Neoprene socks made the fins too tight. These have only one seam which you can wear along the sole of your foot (generally no chafing there) and are so comfortable I forget I’m wearing them. Rinse in fresh water. They dry fast. They look durable but I haven’t had them long so time will tell.
