Saved at least a couple wounds from the little urchins in the rocks in Bonaire! They don't make walking on sharp rocks comfortable, however, they do keep them from cutting the feet! Good fit, well constructed. As always, great service and quick shipping from Mako!

Nice booties

Work great on rocky beaches in Arkansas deep lakes as well as sharp lava rocks in Hawaii as you’ve are walking to Juno I’m poibts fo lobster dining . Love, them!

Great service Dano!

I have yet to learn what the kevlar layer really is supposed to do (durability?), but the booties fit nice, the fins seem to fit too with them, delivery was fast, no complaints. That said, I know too little about freediving fins to understand why there couldn't be even a thin, 1mm or so hard layer in the bottom of such booties.The Sensation from stepping on simulatet rocks (Lego bricks) is subdued due to 3mm soft neoprene, but just a thin hard layer (not completely stiff) would make this feel quite better, especially with scuba gear on. I did not come to think that the slightly sticky sealed seams on the booties would be an issue. That said, mine have one area where the sealant is notably thinner than elsewhere. Not sure that matters.

These socks are well made. I bought them because I had read somewhere that the kevlar soles gripped better than neoprene on wet boat decks. I have not found that to be true at all. If you buy these socks, do so because you think the kevlar is durable and not because you think it grips well on wet decks.

Dano I received the Kevlar socks and was impressed with the great feel and construction of these socks. Particularly I liked the fact that all the sewed seams were also glued so that nothing unravels. Superior construction and great product; Thanks!

stood up to abuse, no tears after hard use climbing over rocks to get to shore dives

I've only had them out for a weekend, so I can't say anything about the long-term durability of these socks, but they fit as expected, are well-sealed, and kept my feet warm. The only nitpick I have is that the seal on the seams is sticky, and makes the socks adhere to each other, and makes it tougher to slide your foot into your fins, but I've seen the same on other well-sealed products, so I think it's just part of having socks that don't leak.

She says they are very comfortable, and are of good components, but seem to be assembled cheaply. The seams are reinforced with what appears to be wetsuit repair glue which tends to stick to any surface. They come shipped symmetrically so each socks seam aligns with the other's and you have to peel them apart. I'll stick with my Argos but these should work out for her.

Strong and warm socks.
