I recently bought some 7mm neoprene socks to wear this winter.

I was finding it very hard to fit my feet into the foot pockets whilst wearing the socks - my fins are the next size up for me.

By removing the sock & placing a foot into the fin pocket first, pushing the sock sole to the edges of the pocket, it was much easier to put the fin on. It left me with a bit of room to wriggle my toes. If I tried wearing the socks first my feet would have been too compressed when I squeezed them into the pocket.

Not sure if this tip is old news - haven't yet read about it on the site -

Cheers for sharing with us, there is a thread called tip of the day with various tips and advise. Maybe try to add it in there as many people are watching/have replied on there so they will get a notification if any new tips are added. Have some rep
 
Hello,
Just a quick one; where did you get the 7mm neoprene socks from?

I got mine from Decathlon a few years ago but I think they only sell 5mm max now. Did a google search but after 40 minutes of misleading links my eyes hurt.

Please share.
 
you can also get 7mm socks from Frivannsliv.no Norwegian webshop with lots of good winterkit.
