It should be at least 85% dry. If you're hair is slightly damp you're probably okay but if it's anything close to wet do not put these in your hair.

Most of them can be used dry but its only about 20 percent as useful compare to when there wet. Dry can also mess the pad up a little. So best bet is to use them wet.

No. The fins are very lightweight but are meant to be used over wader booties when float tubing. They cannot be used with bare feet. The geometry is also all wrong for snorkeling. It sounds like you are looking for "shortie" fins like the kind used by body surfers in Hawaii. If you are not a strong swimmer you need full size fins suitable for quick entry and exit in surf or for avoiding currents/rips. Don't try to cut corners on fins. Suggest if you want to cut weight you go to a dive shop and try out multiple pairs of fins. Pick the lightest fins that still have decent fit and a reasonable amt of thrust/surface area for your intended use and swimming ability.

Use your flip flops, but spray them AFTER EACH AND EVERY USE with a little alcohol (put some in a little spray bottle and keep it in your gym bag). The alcohol will not allow bacteria to grow, and your flippies won't stink. Every few times, spray them, wipe the foot well w/ some TP, then spray them again. This will eliminate dead skin buildup...the 'soil' in which the bacteria tries to thrive.

I don't think putting them in a dryer would be a good idea. I have a holder I created with floral foam and really tall sticks that I put my gloves on to dry just in case I get water inside them.

If it's in a dry bag, then yes. The owner's manual says that after contact with salt water, rinse the radio with fresh water and let it dry before using it. The radio is not very practical (without a dry bag) for sea kayakers.

Hello Nancy, No, these booties are not waterproof. Try an item from Uline: S-1048, they are waterproof. Maybe Amazon can get you a good price on these. Take care. L.W.

Yes, you probably could, but you will need to be very careful. With towel dried feet, your feet are going to be a little softer and remember you have coarse rollers, so you want to be very careful so you don't file too deeply. I would recommend completely dry feet. Both my daughter and I each have one and love them. Be sure to put lotion on after use.

Yes towel is needed to dry the feet ... the plunger only takes the mud and snow off the paws ... still need to dry them.

Yes, they are safe to use for hanging damp clothes. I have done it without a problem.

Yes I went kayaking and they dried in no time. My friend wore jeans and was not so lucky

Well, in the fresh water pool where I use them they do. If you are in cold enough water for booties i would just try a garage sale pair of old Jet Fins.

There are two packages, each contains one pair of booties. Be aware: these booties are a very fine wet mesh, they do not have a plastic outer 'bag' for when they are on your feet. I recommend putting a plastic bag over each foot (gallon ziploc, or somesuch) to keep the moisture on your feet, not your socks or your sofa. And remember to soak your feet for 15-20 minutes prior to putting these on. It will help the stuff penetrate and do its job. You will be much happier with the results.

I would guess not. I warmed the jar with a hair dryer making it pretty soft. I generously rubbed it into the leather then used the hair dryer on the boots. The product soaked in almost disappearing. Leather has stay darker all winter. Never had a product waterproof like this stuff. I give it a A++++++++++

No, I hand wased mine with Woolite, seemed ok. Dry cleaners here will not take them.

Don't think so. They have a vinyl covering. They shouldn't crack or dry out.
