“My husband and I both bought them for swimming in a 65 degree lake. The small size fit me ok but I found it too difficult to swim with them especially for any stroke other than free style. My husband bought the large and couldn't even get them on his legs. I use mine with sandals to kayak in the cold lake and they're helpful for that. They do, by the way, fit under swim fins.”
“I've been using Blue70 swim socks for at least the past 10 years. Bought a wetsuit, socks and cap for an open water swim in 2014.
Today swimming is more likely in a pool and I still use the swim socks. I developed peripheral neuropathy and the swim socks just feel comfortable my feet. They provide just the right amount of cushioning and warmth to make a swim more enjoyable.
The chlorine is pretty rough on neoprene, but they last long enough, until I need a new pair. A pair lasts about a year in the swimming pool.
Just ordered another pair and they feel great.
All in all, a high quality product at a reasonable price.”
Sorry you're experiencing alot of leaking on the Thermal Socks. If possible we recommend wearing them tucked under the leg of your wetsuit. That will help keep water out. Also if they are not very snug around your ankle/calf it's possible the smaller size could work better. Feel free to reach out for any help with the socks / sizing.
“I have been using these socks for a couple of years and like them very much. They are easy to put on and remove. Though they are not very warm, they still allow me to swim about half an hour-45 minutes in Puget Sound during the coldest months, when the water temperatures are in the low 50s' Fahrenheit. I just got a pair for my husband who does the cold exposure, a dozen of minutes submersion in the Sound without a wetsuit. The socks are perfect for walking down the beach.”
