Synergy Swim Socks Neoprene Swim Booties

Giving these a 5 star because they worked great for what I bought them for and were well worth the price. I did Ironma Arizona November 2018. All the reviews of that race that I read suggested to get water socks. The race rules are that you can use water socks if the water temps are below 64 (I believe), and so I was able to use them for IMAZ2018. The water was 58deg. These water socks helped keep my toes/feet from locking up. It was very cold on race morning and they actually worked great for keeping my feet warm while I waited near the swim start area. Also helped keep my feet from getting cut or hurt from the loose gravel areas and worked great for the swim exit. My feet still got a little cold during the swim, but I know they made a difference. I pulled them up as far up my calves as I could and then rolled my wetsuit over them as a way of overlapping to keep them from moving. Water gets in them regardless but your body heat warms that water. I was worried that they might cause too much drag or feel weird during the swim but they were snug and worked great. I don't kick a ton during the swim course anyways to help reserve legs for bike and run. If you are going to do Arizona or another cold swim course race, I definitely recommend these. I liked being able to feel my toes the entire time while I was on the bike and it's due to these awesome water socks!

I used these as soon as I received them for open water swim training in a very cold alpine lake for an upcoming event and I loved them!! They were easy to slip on (I recommend putting them under your wetsuit) and they felt like I was wearing slippers! I got the small (I wear size 8.5 women’s shoe) and they fit perfect. Highly recommend these booties for cold swims, makes for a more comfortable swim and easier to have warm feet for running to T1.

I bought them to wear while jet skiing. I don't want full leg wet suits because it'd get too hot, and I tend to get rashes on the sides on my feet and legs. I usually wear footwear of some kind, but that does nothing for the lower side of my calf.Bought these hoping they would be a good middle ground, not too hot, and have the grip on bottom.They do work for a bit the way I want them to, but since they're meant to go under a wetsuit, they slip down and full with water anytime I fall off or the feet slip off the back.As others have said, once they full with water, it's nothing but drag. They're water right, so you have to dump the water out occasionally.I might buy some Velcro straps or something to keep them up on my calf.So, I don't know how well they'd work for their intended use, but they only sort of work for what I was trying out.I wear a size 7.5 M shoe and the small fits fine, could maybe be a little snugger around the toes.

These are the perfect liners for neoprene farm chore boots, they prevent blisters and give the needed extra warmth in the winter. Occasionally the boots get a small splash of water in them and using these as liners means your feet stay dry and comfortable. I throw them in the washing machine and they come out like new. They fit great and I bought a second pair right away. Wish they cost a little less but sometimes you don't mind paying more for something you like. They are holding up fine. When they start to wear out I will consider buying again.

First of all, these definitely aren't "booties". They're socks and just socks. These are not a replacement for surfing booties by any stretch. There is no structure or arch support and the bottom is about as thick as a pair of hiking socks with very mild grippers. I got these to take the edge off the cold when open water swimming, and for that they are fine. They work pretty well at insulating from the cold at first, but they somehow gradually fill up with water over time. When I walk out of the ocean after being in for a while my feet look like balloons, and I have to remove them to dump all the water out. That being said, they do keep my feet warmer than they could be, and they do manage to somehow stay put, despite the fact that they gradually fill will water. I'm going to continue using them because the protection from the cold is worth it, and I might even be tempted to use them as regular socks on a super cold day

I wear a ladies size 8. I purchased a small for use alone and under my wetsuit. They are ok for use with the wetsuit, but they are insufficiently loose , they allow too much water in when worn alone. In such cases, they have little use, except if you want to add drag. My twin purchased the TYR swim socks. Although the TYR socks are not as thick, they are much, much tighter and are useful to wear, even without a wetsuit Perhaps Synergy could manufacture a sock that fits ladies' feet.

I purchased these booties for a cold water triathlon swim, but after multiple tests, decided I was better off to not use these boots.In practice, the socks kept my feet snug, warm and comfortable while using with a wetsuit covering the tops of the boots. The downside of this product is the socks fill with water over time while swimming, creating a balloon effect that made me "slower" as I swam and heavy when trying to walk/ run on land. Using rubber bands to snug the tops down helped, but really should not be necessary. The ballooning effect is disappointing and I will not recommend this as a solution for anyone wanting to use this for a race (go fast). If speed does not matter and only being warm does, this product is sufficient.

I guess it is obvious that it is waterproof as it is neoprene, but this is a nice set of booties. I use these when rowing, as we can't wear shoes, and lake water has a LOT of goose . . . "poo" in it, and often people don't wet-broom the dock before we carry the boat down. I like the non-slip traction pattern on the bottom. Just a solid choice in booties. Nothing new technologically. Tough, tear resistant, and warm. Easy to clean as well.
