Question Pebbles in the fins

[geagleiam]

Hello,

When I put on my flippers in the sea, pebbles and sand get in between them and my feet, which causes annoying pain. Do you have a solution for this problem? Would I be able to prevent pebbles and sand from getting in with neoprene socks?

Sock make sand/rocks less noticeable but I prefer to wear fins when I'm already in open water around 2m+ and so no sand gets in the footpocket. Otherwise I dive directly from a rocky shore where there's no sand

Pretty common problem. Solution is take the fins off when away from sand/pebble source, shake them out and continue. This is much more difficult if the sand gets into the booties.

Yeah, neoprene socks will definitely help.
They create a barrier so sand and pebbles can't get between your feet and the flippers. Just make sure they fit snugly.
