Hello everybody!
Not sure if it will be of any use to anyone but it cant hurt to share it. Where i dive has a rocky entry and can be a bit of hassle with socks as opposed to booties. I picked up a cheap pair of flip flops with just a band across the top (easy and comfortable!) i take a small weight and some string and just leave them where i put on my fins and saves me ruining pairs of socks! :D
Hope it helps anyhows!

Good thought. Rocks wrecking your booties is always a challenge.

Years ago I was having the same issue, and even nylon-covered socks weren't standing up to the abuse. So I found a place that was making booties with regular soft neoprene uppers, but soles were attached to the bottom made of some kind of hardened neoprene that could stand up to a lot of walking on rough surfaces. Needed to get the next size up of footpocket for my fins, but that was OK.
 
That sock/bootie sounds like a good option aswell, thanks for the info :)
