Tip: Fitting Fins Whilst Wearing Socks

[Kuya]

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 -

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.

Hello

I bought my Seac 7mm socks from Spearfishing Store.

Seac Sub Anatomic Boot 7mm - Socks & Hoods - Spearfishingstore.co.uk

My feet are a size 11 and the XL size fitted me perfectly.

The service I received from this store was second to none - if your size is not in stock I would have thought they would get it in ASAP.
