Neoprene socks for swim fins?

Anyone have them? Love them? Hate them? Have some you'd like to recommend? I use Tyr Burner short fins. They are extremely comfortable, except I keep developing a cut on the top of my right foot. I have always had issues with the skin on my feet (cuts, blisters, etc...), so I am hoping that a neoprene sock will help.

  • Just a warning that switching to the Tyr Burner fins might not help you. They are the ones that I use, and although I agree they are soft and flexible, they still cut the top of my feet (or foot, I should say -- my right foot). I kept thinking that my foot would toughen up, but eventually it became clear that I needed to wear them with a sock or live with a permanent cut on my foot. I should also note that I am not the only one on my team who has to wear socks with the Tyr Burners; one of my lane mates says that it is because she has bony feet. I don't know if my feet are particularly bony, but whatever. I've had mine for quite awhile and I have not experienced any problems with them. And, my feet are quite skinnny and bony! I was surprised, because I had never been able to wear fins without having problems. What definitely helps me, though, is never using fins two days in a row. Not only do my feet need a break; my leg muscles do, as well.
