will these also work well as sand socks to play beach volleyball?

I don't think it would work - if sand got inside, it would cause a blister - when walking up the beach in them after I removed my snorkel, it was irritating

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.

I use mine to walk along the beach when I collect seashells. etc. so I would imagine you could wear them for volleyball.

Absolutely! They aren't as thick as basketball socks though. Imagine a white crew sock w/ color and patterns on 'em. That's basically what these are, Lol

I would not recommend it for volleyball. I feel the landing zone for the ball would be too small.

If you can go 1/2 size down it might be alright but not a full size. They need to fit fairly tight to keep the sand out. I normally wear a 8 1/2 shoe, so an 8 fits very well. They're a good shoe and they stretch on comfortably.

Wear a sock underneath it. I wear this for sand Volleyball. Sounds a little dorky to wear it over a sock but it works. I love this bandage.. I'd buy another one. I'd also buy it one size smaller than your actual size, only because after hand washing it in Hot Water several times, it stretches out just slightly. I hope this helps.

I bought these for surf kayaking. I think the sole is probably too rigid for surfing. They may however, work for paddle boarding.

We buy these volleyballs for both indoor and outdoor purposes so they work well and are pretty durable. Cement might scuff them up a bit more than sand or hard wood floor but i bet it would still work well!

I would say no - they have little 'points' on them for traction when wet. If you were to slip and land on a knee or something, you'd tear it up pretty good.

Yes. The neoprene heel, sole, and toe provide the traction of a standard-issue beach flipflop or better. Because the footwear is sock-like, it will shape to the contour of the wearer's feet and give better traction than just a hard-soled, plank-like flipflop. I wore these to play beach ultimate frisbee and they worked out very, very well. They kept my feet protected from hot sand, and lacerations from shells and other debris.

I don't see why not. They are a knee high dress sock that offers compression. Many runners are using compression socks these days.

Yes, but I have not tried for your specific sports requests. I expect it would work, but you will sweat in that area, as the material is not breath-able.You might want consider compression shorts instead. Ie, if you are doing these very active sports, you must not be hurting too bad already.

They are awesome!! They do have more of an outdoor feel to them. I have them at my beach house and they fit perfect for that environment.

I use it for soccer tournaments but I think it would probably roll through sand ok.

I guess so. But if you soak them in water often, I'm not sure. Walk them at the beach? I'd say be careful with your knees.

I think they would work good, but I'd say it may depend on how loose and deep the sand is.

I don't see why not. They do have grips on bottom though so not sure that will create any issues. Great socks for Pilates or Yoga.

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.
