Will they protect your feet from water? I need a shoe that will protect the foot from water

Do your feet need to be protected from water? If you want dry feet don't go in the water! These are dive boots, meant to protect your feet from blisters when wearing fins. The soles are soft but will protect you feet from rocks and coral, to a degree . . . they are not tennis shoes.

Not sure what you're asking, they are water shoes so your feet do get wet; however they do protect them and provide comfort with find on.

No. These are dive boots which are made of the same neoprene material as wetsuits and are not waterproof.

No they wont. If they fit snugly (order a half size smaller), they may insulate your feet from water and the elements. But they wont keep your feet from getting wet.

No, these are not dry boots, they are very porous and your feet will be just as wet in these boots as they would be without them. They are simply thin aqua socks that fit very nicely into just about any open heel swim fins.

They will help keep moisture out but there is not a water tight seal between the shoe and gaitor. If you stay in standing water, you will get wet. Running through wet grass, brush or even puddles, it will help keep the water out.

I would say no. The feet on these are for walking in the water but you should put on water shoes with the feet so you don't cut them on anything. Lobster men would have reinforced boots on them.

Yes you get a pair. The are awesome. Just run them under water and slip them onto your toes.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

They might, but you might want to get the type that comes up over the ankle. I walked along the beach and in water up to my knees and got some sand in them. Not a lot, though.

Yes, but only if the water level doesn't rise about the top of the sock. I used these when snorkeling, so they were fully submerged as soon as I got in the water.

Dicey. I use them to keep my feet warm while kayaking in cold weather. The bottom is a soft diamond pattern of the same material as the sock. I noticed the other day that the diamond pattern around the ball of my foot (where it pushes on the foot brace) was starting to wear. I've since attached moleskin to the foot brace so I'm not pushing against the hard plastic. Sand is pretty abrasive. I believe neoprene boots have a hard sole; those might work better on sand. Hope you find something that works for you.

Mine aren't so I don't wear them in bad weather. I think it's better that they 'breathe'. Waterproofing them could make them smell bad because your feet would sweat with nowhere for the moisture to go.

Not really sure.I would think that sand would get in them and be uncomfortable but they do sloe pretty tight. They hold water i know that and your feet do get a little water logged i assume the same with sand minus the water log.

I think you're real consideration would be size. The size of you foot isn't the same with shoes or neo boots on. That said, my daughters prefer these for snorkeling and wake boarding. I think you could definitely get away with a sock thickness, but I'd say no to a formal water shoe, and Maybe to a 3mm neo sock. Hope this helps..

like all socks you can sweat in them, but the way they are made it will keep the water off better than most. can't tell you much more sorry.

I would not recommend these for playing Beach Volleyball. These Socks are a great product, but are basically made to wear when using fins. They make getting your foot in and out of the fins a breeze! For Beach Volleyball, I would recommend a water shoe with a harder sole.

I don't windsurf, but I see no reason why these boots would not work for that. They are like an aqua-sock with a rubber sole. I love mine and use them at the beach and on my boat.

Patricia, you sure can. The best part about them is that they have the side zipper for easy on and off. Most wetsuit boots are just pull on and are a real pain. Understand though, that these are neoprene wetsuit material. They are thick and they do let the water in, as they are supposed to to help keep your feet warmer . The soles are nice and thick and "grippy" too. I have worn them on rocks , sand and slippery grass and they keep you pretty solidly on your feet.

No, there pretty tight. The will not keep your feet dry once submerge. Excellent to protect you heel from your open heel dive fins.

They'd keep your feet dry, but they are not insulated. Maybe they'd be warm enough with thick socks.
