Can you wear these barefoot? These will be for surf fishing in the fall but it won't be cold enough for socks.

Yes I wear these barefoot. I wear the same size in this boot as I do in my other shoes. Fit very comfortable.

I often wear them barefoot without issue. I use them for paddling and the soles do fine on oyster beds.

I personally would not. There is not back to adjust the tightness of the fins. For comfort reasons i wouldn't. I think they make socks which are like boots in material just, a sock in a sense.

Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.

I don't surf so I can't really address your question. I have, however, used these while rafting and they are great. The only problem I had was the sole is so thick it hard for you foot to get a good grip on a rocky surface. So, my guess it that they would be OK for surfing, but I've had not direct experience. Good luck.

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

I actually wear stocking foot fishing waders under these boots. The waders' neoprene foot material is probably about 3mm thick. I ordered the boots one size larger than my shoe size and there is plenty of room. Unless the sock you're thinking of is VERY thin, I would assume that they would not be comfortable unless you ordered the boots a size larger.

You can wear whatever you want as long as you dont mind them getting wet! I use a cheap pair of boots with my stockingfoot waders

Yes. I wear a size ten shoe. The size ten that I ordered fits fine and could even allow for a light wool sock for winter wear.

These are neoprene "booties" and I wouldn't wear them beyond when I'm wading through water. In that case the wool wouldn't help at all. In Iceland my mode of operation was to hike to the side of the river, change hiking boots to sandals and Hydroskin, walk carefully through the icewater and then change back.

I guess it would depend on the feet. I don't like being barefoot because mine are tender, but this rubber mat is not to bad on them. I would think it would do fine under water.

Sure, but your feet would get very cold. These are rubber rain boots and not lined.

There should be. I wore a pair of wool socks for warmth and comfort because I didn't have neoprene socks with me. My socks got wet, but my feet weren't as cold as they would have been without them on a very windy and cold canoe trip.

Well, in the fresh water pool where I use them they do. If you are in cold enough water for booties i would just try a garage sale pair of old Jet Fins.

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

If your full foot fins are snug on your barefeet, I don't think you would be able to wear these dive socks. The soles of the socks are actually pretty firm and makes your foot wider. They worked perfect with my open heel fins. If your full foot fins are a little roomy, then I would give these a shot. They are really nice dive booties.

I haven't worn these outside while running in the winter. I have worn them in the winter (because I ran out of regular socks) for regular day activities and my feet get pretty cold if I'm outside.

It kinda depends how you want them to fit. I wear size 6-6.5 and my whole foot fits in the small. I like that because I don't want to feel the bottom when in shallow water. Hope this helps.
