Synergy Neoprene Swim Socks - Water Shoes for Swimming, Surfing & Beach Activities - Non-Slip Aqua Socks for Men & Women

Giving these a 5 star because they worked great for what I bought them for and were well worth the price. I did Ironma Arizona November 2018. All the reviews of that race that I read suggested to get water socks. The race rules are that you can use water socks if the water temps are below 64 (I believe), and so I was able to use them for IMAZ2018. The water was 58deg. These water socks helped keep my toes/feet from locking up. It was very cold on race morning and they actually worked great for keeping my feet warm while I waited near the swim start area. Also helped keep my feet from getting cut or hurt from the loose gravel areas and worked great for the swim exit. My feet still got a little cold during the swim, but I know they made a difference. I pulled them up as far up my calves as I could and then rolled my wetsuit over them as a way of overlapping to keep them from moving. Water gets in them regardless but your body heat warms that water. I was worried that they might cause too much drag or feel weird during the swim but they were snug and worked great. I don't kick a ton during the swim course anyways to help reserve legs for bike and run. If you are going to do Arizona or another cold swim course race, I definitely recommend these. I liked being able to feel my toes the entire time while I was on the bike and it's due to these awesome water socks!
