Finding the correct size neoprene socks ?

[Bleeth]

I need a 46 EU size neoprene socks, could someone who has a size 46 recommend a brand and size that fits OK. Of course all feet are different but if my foot is 29 cm than it's natural that my 26 cm Salvimar socks (XXL size) i just bought won't fit. I'm getting tired of ordering by size charts which are very misleading. And before you say it, going in the store and trying them it's not an option. Asking the seller would be the logical way to go but when i did that, i got a Picasso size 4 which are about 23cm (20 years ago they would be a great fit )

So no one has EU 46 to recommend me something ? I have to buy something and i'm getting sick of piling up socks that don't fit me. Now i have 3 new pairs that don't fit me (Salvimar, Picasso, Bare Neo). I have to dive with my 10y old socks with a thousand holes.

Hi, i've got feet size 45 and I have the beuchat elastaskin 2 mm socks with size L/xxl which fit me right. And i think they will also fit one size bigger. However the seals on the socks aren't the most comfortable one's.

Thanks for sharing our experience sanderv i might even go with it 'cause it's based on the 1st hand experience after all, but i gotta say i'm a little skeptic about socks which are made in only 2 sizes (L/XXL and XS/M), is it even possible to cover all that from XS to XXL with only 2 pair of socks. And what do you mean by "not the most comfortable", are thy to tight or what ?

I truly cannot say if they cover all the feet, but I do know they fit me. When I have the sock in my monofin i feel the seals a bit, so they are not very smooth. Good luck with your search.

Bleeth I use Imersion 3mm hawai socks in a med and am 46, large are too large and I have no idea who xl are for as the fins only go to 44/46

OK, today i got a new Omer Marco Bardi size 6 (apparently biggest Omer produces) and i paid more than 40 bucks for them, and i'm proud to say now i have 4 new pairs of socks i can't use (Neo, Picasso, Salvimar and Omer). These are just 25cm long and my feet as i already wrote is 29, i really don't get how do you all find a good fitting socks. I mean if the longest Omer produces are 25 cm and that's around 39 EU number and as we are talking stretching fabric like neopren i would say that fits around EU 41,42 or 43 tops in the water, what do rest of you do ? Is the only way to get a pair of socks that won't kill me after a few hours in the water to make them myself ? Buying the biggest size pair from all the brands i can think of is also a possibility but after 4 failed attempt i'm losing my believe there are such a socks on the market 'cause non of the bought ones came even close to my number.

I use the SporaSub 3mil socks in a LARGE - I'm a 46. They fit me fine, no complaints. Could get the XL if you want but thats up to you.

Cant you return the socks? GO to a dive shop and try some on? Post them for sale in the for sale section...
