I want to wear these for ocean stand up paddle boarding while the water is still cold. Will these help to keep my feet warm if they are wet?

I agree with both previous respinders but unless high wind speed I think you'd be quite pleased with how much warmer than bare feet

if it is a windy day, this may not be as useful as you would think. the evaporation caused by the wind could make your feet cold, I have noticed this while in my wetsuit going from one dive site to the next via boat

They did not keep my feet warm in 45 degree water. I bought a pair for surfing and my feet were freezing. The seams are not glued so water moves through them freely. In my opinion, they must be for protective wear such as for diving in warm water.

They fit quite tight so that is good, but they are a thin sock as apposed to a bootie. I wrote mine under my fins to snorkel and they kept my feet warm and helped protect from blisters

Hi I only just got these, so I can't really answer the question but they are made of rubber so my guess would be yes they would make your feet hot/warm like most rubber boots. I will wear these even in the summer if it is raining! It would depend on how you would use them during the summer months. Perhaps a good idea would be to wear a thin cotton sock liner (the ones that do not come up too high on the foot) in the boot.

Cyndi they keep me warmer but not dry.I also live in S Florida. My pool is cold but not freezing.

I wear them over my dry suit socks.They work OK for that, water gets trapped in them because of the soles. This I only notice when walking out of the water.

The soles are waterproof, however, the rest of the shoe is not. The portion on the top of the foot and the velcro will absorb moisture. That said, I wear these in the water all the time (hiking, canoeing, etc.). You just need to ensure you dry them properly and you won't have any problems.

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 am sure they will make your feet sweat if you don't wear socks as they are not lined with anything. I have only had mine this winter and don't know how they will be in warmer weather. Although awkward to put on I am very pleased with mine so far and they are relatively comfortable to wear.

They should work just fine, they are water proof as advertised. They are also made for tough work, the fingers have leather protecting from ware n tear and outer is a stretch material for easy movement. They are suppose to keep hands warm unfortunately like all gloves fingers will get cold!!

I bought them for kayaking.They run small though, I bought an XL and they fit like they are 1 size smaller.

I used them in a wet (not frozen) environment and then had wool sock on under them...my feet got wet, really wet and cold but would have been colder without them.

No, they are not. They are made of black fleece with a plastic "skid" pad. These will definitely absorb water in wet conditions. They work well in dryer conditions, to protect from salt and other road chemicals in the winter, and keep feet a little warmer but, they get wet easily.

No, these are thermal socks. They are used to keep your feet warm in cold climates.

I think they would. We use them for sand volleyball and when the sand is moist it gets packed and hard. Even in intense playing my husband's feet are always perfect. The material on the bottom of the sock I think, would keep your feet protected from the pool.

I have only used mine with bear feet. I take a size USA 10.5 shoe and the flippers fit well on my bear feet. I think if I had a bulky water shoe as well they would definitely not fit me. Maybe if you get a big size or have small feet you could get a wetsuit booty in them.

No. They are designed to keep water out below top level of boots. The strap at the top will tighten to keep boots snug, not water tight.

I use them with a drysuit when kayaking with cuffs over and cinched. They are not dry but limited leakage When immersed when entering or exiting boat. Constant and prolonged immersion may pose a problem.
