Do these protect your toes from being cut by the opening on top front of fin ?

I believe you fins might be a little too small if they reach the opening, but I would have to say yes. The material of the sock is very thick to prevent this from happening.
215395
Yes they do. I purchased these because read people complained about the fin rubbing against their feet. These socks will definitely protect your skin against the hard plastic.

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 got two pair, one for my wife and one for my daughter ... both sets worked very good for them. since these are a strecth-able bootie, 'i would guess' they would work for any type of foot as long as you got the right size ??? it is not really a 'shoe' for foot support ... it is a wet suit bootie for foot protection when walking on sand, rocks and corel before you put your fins on and after you take them off ... which i find 'a lot' better than going bare-foot before putting on fins & after.gordonr

They work fine in many shoes, but whether they are visible when the shoe is on depends on the shoe style and cut. I was able to wear one in a heeled sandal this past fall. The guard material that showed through the sandal was not particularly noticeable because you can see the skin color through the guard. I was able to cut the tongue portion appropriately. Made a big difference as I had to wear the shoes for a wedding and celebration, including dancing. It stayed in place and worked out great!!

This bunion guard is a simple piece of silicone, with a hole in the top, to fit over the toe. It can be positioned over any toe, in any orientation, to provide pain relief anywhere on the foot! I love these things!!!

You shouldn't need to cut. They are partial length (to where the ball of my foot meets my toes) on a size 7.

Yes... I am a new swimmer, but a mature woman .. I tried longer fins at my pool, but they felt clumsy. These are perfect for me. They help me move through the water, and work a bit harder. I love them. I ready one review about pressure on your arches, which is true. If you have a high arch you need to stretch them a bit. but they are worth the effort. New swimmer

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.

I would think wearing over your sock would provide protection from the neoprene. I guess it just depends on the severity of the allergy.

It does help to protect your feet from sores, but if you have heel pain besides a doctor's prescription, i would recommend the SKIL CARE FLOAT HEEL PROTECTOR from Prime Discount in Amazon, i got both "booties" both are good, but because my mother developed sores in the big toe and heel, she is diabetic and bedridden, it was better to keep the heel free of pressure and avoid pain. The DMI comforting heel is very good to protect your feet from sores,but if those sores are spreading and causing too much pain in your heel i would suggest the float heel protector.My mother has both protectors (different one in each foot) and there is a lot of improvement.

If your full foot fins are snug on your barefeet, I don't think you would be able to wear these dive socks. The soles of the socks are actually pretty firm and makes your foot wider. They worked perfect with my open heel fins. If your full foot fins are a little roomy, then I would give these a shot. They are really nice dive booties.

Good question. I don't swim with or own a pair of fins so I can't answer for certain....but it fits my shoes with plenty of room to spare. I'd be willing to bet they would fit. Best wishes!

My toenail was falling off and it protected it. They are stretchy and it fits over my big toe with no problem. They made running tolerable for me when my toenail was barely hanging on.

Not sure what you're asking, they are water shoes so your feet do get wet; however they do protect them and provide comfort with find on.

I've only used them to shorten my swimming fins, too long. I suppose one could use them on the sides of a shoe, but I'm guessing.

No need to cut. These types of socks are available without the foot part. Also the foot part is not necessary, but then what would you wear inside your shoe or sneaker? Barefoot would smell up your footwear.

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.

On the bottom, top, and sides there is a protective case, the Outside end however has no covering case. I does have a wrap around 1.5" or so edge that surrounds the Fins, but the cooling fins in the center of this are not covered, and are open to the air. I took a long look at mine from outside, and for the time it has been installed it has no visible damage to the fins.
