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

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!

Got to use these for the first time last weekend in very chilly (48-51 degrees) water. Made putting on my wet, cold wetsuit on the second day of surfing MUCH easier. And removing my booties with my frozen hands was also much easier than it used to be. I didn’t have any issues slipping around in my booties. I got the split-toe Wetsox, and I have split-toe booties as well, so that probably helped. I found the fit nice and snug. I have pretty normal (not wide or narrow) feet. I wear a size 10 shoe typically, and I got the medium size. I thought the fit was perfect.

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.
