Just use a neoprene or lycra socks also helps your wetsuit to slide on. The brand I use is "Wetsox" and you can get them on Amazon. I use them with my full foot fins as well and never an issue for me. On my most recent trip to the Red Sea everybody onboard with booties and open heel fins ran the boat out of Band-Aids and medical tape covering up all their blisters.So, I've gotten seriously chafed by the internal seams of my booties. I even have scars on either side of both heels. I've never heard of these "chafe protection socks". What are they and how can I find them? If I can't get them in time before my next diving, is there some substitute that I can use? Waterproof athletic tape?
Some people wear any socks or lycra socks, for a weeks diving I wear Shark skin Titanium T2 Chillproof socks inside my booties and open heel fins, a little expensive, worth every penny, and no chafing."chafe protection socks". What are they and how can I find them?
