Would these soles hold up playing sand volleyball? Vincere sand socks have thin soles that wear through after about a month.

Dicey. I use them to keep my feet warm while kayaking in cold weather. The bottom is a soft diamond pattern of the same material as the sock. I noticed the other day that the diamond pattern around the ball of my foot (where it pushes on the foot brace) was starting to wear. I've since attached moleskin to the foot brace so I'm not pushing against the hard plastic. Sand is pretty abrasive. I believe neoprene boots have a hard sole; those might work better on sand. Hope you find something that works for you.

I would not recommend these for playing Beach Volleyball. These Socks are a great product, but are basically made to wear when using fins. They make getting your foot in and out of the fins a breeze! For Beach Volleyball, I would recommend a water shoe with a harder sole.

I don't think so. I tried them out for just work use (retail), and they were falling apart (I had a hole in the pad area) in less than a week. I don't imagine they'd hold up too well with more vigorous use.

My daughter is 12 years old and wears a size 8-9 women's shoes and uses these socks for sand volleyball we order a size small. Hope that helps.

If you can go 1/2 size down it might be alright but not a full size. They need to fit fairly tight to keep the sand out. I normally wear a 8 1/2 shoe, so an 8 fits very well. They're a good shoe and they stretch on comfortably.

These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles. I think I've had them for like 8 months in my badminton shoes and they are still in good shape. The top is showing a little ware, but that's nothing, when you compare them to the older blue foam bottom models which I would burn holes clear through within a matter of months. (They still give support where I need it, though, so I still use several older pairs in my other shoes, despite them having multiple large holes in each one.) Just make sure you get the newer model with the green rubber bottom. These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles.

I live in San Diego and am in sandals most of the time. They stick very well to the bottom of your foot and I have had no problems with them. You just have to wash them off at night. The first pair I had lasted for several months with daily use. I hope this helps.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

I bought these for my husband , who has major foot problems, they do have a stick side that adheres to the foot, but I really don't know how long they would stay on going barefoot and if you are moving your feet around a lot.

I haven't had mine long (a few weeks) but from what I can tell they should last you a while. Mine have a few dings and a slightly bent tip from hitting a brick wall, from what I can tell they are pretty durable. I typically throw for an hour or so a day and mine are all still in great condition.

If the Sand Sock by itself doesn't provide enough traction, you might consider having your mother wear the Sand Socks under a pair of sandals. She will get the protection from the sand as well as have a great platform for traction. I find that with cotton socks some if the sand still gets through the cotton and can cause chaffing issues. I wear my Sand Socks under my sandals without any issues at all. I initially purchased them to wear inside my dive boots but soon found they were great for much more than that.

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

I just use mine for off-roading/camping and they seem to hold up very well, I would definitely recommend them. I haven't left them in the sun so I'm not sure if they fade.

Yeah I would think so. There's non of that gel crap in them that would breakdown. Like I had said earlier these are the best inserts I've ever purchased. I would definitely suggest wearing socks to prolong durability tho

I had issues with their durability. They fell apart after 2 weeks. Hope that helps.

Yes these shoes have been great, either at the beach just on the sand and also for walking over the rocks etc. Thick enough to not feel the rocks, but still have good balance.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

I wouldn't consider the socks as thin. I use them for volleyball and love them. They do have some cushioning. They work perfectly for volleyball and are currently my favorite socks. I don't, however, know about their use as softball socks.
