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!

Hi Ken: I'm not a surfer, but they were very skid resistant when walking on wet decks and metal plates when we were on small boats. They do get a little getting-used-to with the water sloshing around your feet inside the boot, but they were very comfortable to wear. Randy

Use your flip flops, but spray them AFTER EACH AND EVERY USE with a little alcohol (put some in a little spray bottle and keep it in your gym bag). The alcohol will not allow bacteria to grow, and your flippies won't stink. Every few times, spray them, wipe the foot well w/ some TP, then spray them again. This will eliminate dead skin buildup...the 'soil' in which the bacteria tries to thrive.

The palm is thick, the top is neoprene. We use them to water ski, so we don't deal with cold all that much. We use them for blisters. I would think they would help with cold, tho. We use wetsuits when the water is cold, and you still feel the cold of the water, it's just that the wetsuit holds the water on your skin and your body heat warms warms it and keeps you warmer. I would think these would do the same. At least you know they are for the water and they dry quickly.

I did not use foot sox/booties. I have male 8 1/2 shoe size and followed the web page sizing chart. The flippers fit perfectly.Be sure to fully tighten the heel straps before swimming.

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

If you have a large foot the flippers will be extremely tight. I wear a 10.5 shoe. I ordered the largest size available. They were so tight I had to take them off after about 15 minutes.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.

Not sure what product your asking about as amizon didn't show or tell me what it was. If it is the aqua socks, the run about 8 1/2 to 11 inch. I wear 9-10.5 sho and they fit perfectly. Work great with my flippers.

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.

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.

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.

I've only used them to shorten my swimming fins, too long. I suppose one could use them on the sides of a shoe, but I'm guessing.

I love my croakies & they were a great buy. But I do not think they will work for surfing.

These are not really thick enough to add floatation. I use them for splash protection and have only been in the water with them a couple of times but have not noticed any added floatation.

They'll work fine, but the grip that enables them to hold things in place is what eats through the finish. If this is important, perhaps a piece of Saran Wrap will protect things.

I prefer a tighter fit so I don't get blisters. The sizes are pretty true, I think, but since I am a 1/2 size, I went up in size rather than down and got the neoprene dive socks to wear with them ....super comfortable and no blisters. If not wearing the neoprene, then go down if you are a 1/2 size.... backs are adjustable.
