Re: Foot Squeeze at Depth

Anyone know what causes this and how I can prevent it? I have a feeling that air is trapped in the toe area but it's hard to tell given how snug it is around the middle of the foot.

There are photos of the footpocket here:

Cheers,

i have had that with my sporasub socks. i tried filling them with water as much as possible before going down, at depth my foot felt like a victim of Chinese Foot Binding.


Never though of making holes in them, which makes sense as we do it for our hoods as well.

PS: dig the leopard skin
