I'm doing daily physical rehab in swimming pool. Will they protect the soles of my feet from the rough pool surfaces.

We bought them to protect my son's feet from the rough pool surfaces. His toes were always abraded to the point where I couldn't take his agony anymore. The socks worked perfectly for this purpose and he thought they were very comfortable for swimming and looked "cool". However, he wore right through the material after about 5-6 uses. He wore through the big toe areas because he'd bounce off the bottom of the pool with his big toes since he was too short to touch the bottom. To make it through the summer, I patched with duct tape. Worked well enough since it was the end of the summer, but I don't think I'd buy these again. He definitely needs something with a rubber bottom or something more rub resistant.

Although my daughter has only used these in beach sand, I would imagine they would protect your feet for a period of time in the pool. However, it is material and not rubber or some other hard sole surface. Thus if the pool is considerably rough, the material would eventually deteriorate. I would recommend water shoes verses sand socks for very rough pool surfaces.

I think they would. We use them for sand volleyball and when the sand is moist it gets packed and hard. Even in intense playing my husband's feet are always perfect. The material on the bottom of the sock I think, would keep your feet protected from the pool.

Yes they do. I purchased these because read people complained about the fin rubbing against their feet. These socks will definitely protect your skin against the hard plastic.

Your feet will probably still peel. Make sure you are soaking them once per day now, though.

I would say yes, they protect from gasoline. I use them to protect my hands from hot water with strong soap.

With careful walking yes, they should. But they don't offer much protection as far as a sole so I'd be very careful about watching where I put my feet in case there is glass or something of that nature.

Only if they are on it over & over & over. My kids play on my skateboard all the time on their bare feet, but i know wet feet can be softer then dry feet. Your call, I would look into rubberized paint with grit in it. Check out your local auto store or hardware store. Hope that helps?

I didn't use anything under it. The foot pads are pretty well designed to avoid damage. My former in-laws have the next size up and have had no problems even with all the neighborhood kids playing in the pool.

Walking barefoot on these mats would be hard on the feet. I tried it. However, the material they are made from is impervious to water so they would be fine for an underwater application.

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)...

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

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.

No, they protect the dogs feet against road and sidewalk salt and other chemical substances that they might have to walk on. My dog has wide webbing between his toes so the 3-4 inch would not fit over his toes. I had to give them away.

My wife had no issues with them in the dry. I would imagine they would deteriorate in the wet conditions as it states sweat can be an issue. And if you are considering the pool it would be worse due to the chlorine.

I would think that these would be ideal for steps to a pool. I have three sets covering a 12 foot ramp and they are great. I feel very secure and walking is a problem for me.I have had no slippery feeling when it rains. I would recommend them.

I wear them over my dry suit socks.They work OK for that, water gets trapped in them because of the soles. This I only notice when walking out of the water.

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.

Certainly. The only thing I've found I need to be careful of, is that compression hose that stretch tightly on the foot (which these do not on me) will develop holes from friction very quickly inside running shoes.
