Will these help prevent blisters from flippers?

Yes it does - however, I took off my flippers in the water and walked with the socks in the sand - not too comfy - so I would take both off before getting into the sand and walking - otherwise - no blisters from my flippers - yeah!

I think these have a thicker coating than the blister packed ones. I've never had a problem and I have had broken ones in the blister packs.

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

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...

Yes they will. They work great too! However, they are not soft and are not suitable for transporting surfboards (unless you wrap them with a foam). I did use them this past winter for snowboards and gear though, and they worked great. I definitely recommend these!

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

It's not really meant for that and will run off. Try coating the blister-prone area in New Skin liquid bandage or something waxy that will stay in place better like maybe Bag Balm or one of those stick-format lubricants like Body Glide.

I believe they will. These are oversized gloves and very easy to slip on and off. This is one of the reasons I prefer these as there is no struggle, tugging or pulling necessary. Also, they are great for insulating against very hot water. Long lasting too. Well worth the money in my opinion.

It says on the package to add a few drops of water to the underside of the board to prevent it from slipping, but i just received these today and have not tried them out yet.

They will absorb moisture although I don't know if it would help odor or not. We use them to keep scuba dive boots dry when stored and it keeps them from getting mildew smell.

There a lot of factors at play here. A lot of that does depend on where you are in the world and your relative humidity. Under normal conditions they dry in a few hours. I highly recommend these, even if your feet sweat a lot they stay pretty dry and help avoid blisters.

They have a thin seal which does not help. I got some Zoggs trivision goggles with a seal 3 times as wide and solved the problem.

The box says to keep away from water. Probably a little sweat wond hurt them but keep them as dry a you can

I bought the Akona fin socks - they come in actual sizes. I used these with my snorkeling fins. They snugged up the fins, but weren't tight - they loosened a bit in the water. I have dive boots to wear with my dive fins. The Akona socks worked great - hope this helps!

I've never walked in surf with these boots (assuming that you mean with bare legs), but based on experience with similar neoprene water shoes (assuming again that you"d be in water over the boot top), I wouldn't bet that it would keep out anything smaller than a pea. In calm water maybe, but not in surging ocean surf. In my opinion, you'd be safe only if the boot tops were covered by a long legged wet suit.

I purchased these, and they adhere great to my scuba gear after multiple dives. I'm not sure how well they would stick to a bumpy surface - everything I have used them on has a smooth spot somewhere. Maybe there's a support rail or other smooth spot somewhere on the kayak?

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).
