Can these be used for surfing booties? Do they have the same amount of traction as a traditional surf boot? Only ask b/c I am a size 15 or 16.

Hi Ken: I'm not a surfer, but they were very skid resistant when walking on wet decks and metal plates when we were on small boats. They do get a little getting-used-to with the water sloshing around your feet inside the boot, but they were very comfortable to wear. Randy

Yes, they have a lot of traction. Great for working in the yard. I've done that a couple of times now.

I ware a size 13 boot and they fit great. A helper of mine has a size 15 boot and they for him fine. Not sure about the max size.

I would get the size for the 14 leg cause the way these are made and feel the 16 would be too big. My mother has the same problem.

I wear a women's size 7 shoe. I bought these Grip-Ons to wear on Lands' End All-Weather Mocs, which are quite bulky. I had to go to a Grip-On size L, which is designed for women's sizes 10.5-13! These things are great, by the way!

There is pretty good padding right on the tailbone area. I think they would be good for snowboarding. I used them for motocross and they worked okay. The padding is similar to the air shocks you see in a pair of nike air running shoe.

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.

Whatever size you would normally buy get the same size in these they are true to size.If you take a 9 gaet a 9 and there will still be enough for a thick pair of socks.They come up to the back of my knee just at the bend. I love mine but they are hard to get off,I would recommend a boot puller to make it easier. Enjoy your trip

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

I actually wear stocking foot fishing waders under these boots. The waders' neoprene foot material is probably about 3mm thick. I ordered the boots one size larger than my shoe size and there is plenty of room. Unless the sock you're thinking of is VERY thin, I would assume that they would not be comfortable unless you ordered the boots a size larger.

I bought these for surf kayaking. I think the sole is probably too rigid for surfing. They may however, work for paddle boarding.

Works well with waders ....used them the other day barefoot and they are uncomfortable after only a short time. Keep in mind we use them while in fishing tubes (like small boats ) to get around the lakes. I may try them with a pair of those water shoes on and see how they feel... In the summer i rather fish without the waders (which have the boots attached) so trying to find the most comfortable way to wear these flippers to be able to move around the lake.... Def not barefoot.... Hope this helps

I would use the same ones I bought, the Ultra Paws Durable Dog Boot. My dog drags his hind paws too which makes the tip of the boots wear down so I bought the shoe goo to help protect them. I hope this helps you out.

I use mine with 3mm slip on "boot" and they are fine. I imagine the 2mm would be fine as well, but without anything you'll get killer blisters (I tried once)

They are not heavy duty rubber ones. The boot is great, in that it has a nice tread on the bottom, but if you are going to tackle sticks and stones, and grabbing limbs packed with mud, you may want a heavy duty rubber waders. We love our waders for what we use them for...raking the bottom of the lake, securing the pier, etc. Hope this helps

I've used them with full fins and open fins with no problem, but would rather use diving boots for open fins. They get a bit loose after a few uses, but still work well as socks for full fins. If you use them without fins they're not that great because they flood easily.

I bought them for diving because my boots were too wide for my foot and they worked great for me. And I walked around on the soft deep sand at the beach in Panama City Beach in Florida with them. I didn't notice any sand that had gotten in. I really like them. They fit securely around the lower ankles. I hope this helps.
