TWF3mm Socks

I had to return a similar item to a well known specialist website as the product which was adult large L was so small I actually couldn't get my foot in it. I was wondering if this would be worth getting but the reviews on fit seemed true to size. I am really pleased with both the quality and the fit.

I wore these today swim in 6degree water and my feet kept warm. I’m a uk 6 and ordered a medium. I’m so impressed I’ve ordered the matching gloves

Used for sea dipping in colder weather. Comfy. I am shoe size 4-5 but got the xtra small ones. Tight fit but can get them on and off okay. Feet are so much warmer in the water now. Allowed me to hold off with the wetsuit a bit longer. Excellent value

Nice and warm

Value swim socks but I found then quite difficult to pull on & as I have swelling around the ankle, the seam around the socks didn't help this.Otherwise okay.

I've had several other pairs of diving socks so have got to know how they are supposed to fit and what to look for in general. When you try new wetsuit socks on for the first time, ideally you want them to be as tight as possible without cutting off circulation, because when neoprene gets wet it grows slightly and becomes a lot more loose and flexible, that means if they aren't tight when you first put them on, they'll most likely be too loose when in the water, this means your feet will be cold because cold water will wash though them as you swim, and they can easily slip off, (I've lost socks this way in the past). Neoprene also stretches over time from being worn over time so they will get looser the more you use them.I decided to choose a size down from what is recommended on TWF's website as i wanted them to fit tight. I'm a UK mens size 11, It is recommended to get size XL, but I chose size L to hopefully get a tighter fit. They were just about long enough for my feet in length, although they were stretched quite a bit from toe to heel, the real problem though was despite them being a size down from my recommended size, the ankles were extremely loose. So loose that they weren't touching the skin on my ankles, there was about a 1 cm gap all the way around. This means they are totally useless to me as they will let a lot of water in and not do their job.However, I'm tall and slim, so for other body types these might well fit. The construction seems to be pretty decent, the stitching looks robust but as i haven't used them i cant say how well they would hold up. I can't give them a bad review as it's a fitting issue and with wet suits and accessorises, different brands can favour different body types and that is totally fine. If they fit they would certainly be exceptional value as they're the cheapest i've seen and seem to be well made.

Quality excellent true fit if your a size 8 buy a size 8 great price recommended

Exactly what I needed. Comfortable and warm for winter sea swimming.
