AquaSafe Verruca Guard Socks for Swimming - Extra Large

Relied upon as a preventative measure, this latex sock will prevent you catching anything, while also stop you from transmitting anything undesirable that you might have. For my purposes it was a cure based measure as I needed something to keep me from being bitten by fleas!Infested with them I woke to having been bitten some SIXTY times on each leg, which resulted in several sleepless nights here in the height of summer, the scratching was euphoric and murder at the same time, and anything would trigger it. - but how to prevent further bites?The idea was to adorn an impenetrable barrier to simply keep my piece of mind, I simply imagined them crawling and feasting on my legs all of the time, I couldn’t concentrate, sleep or stop scratching, it was no joke. So these latex socks would hopefully do the trick, along with some latex leggings.Initially difficult to put on, just persevere, it’s best to outstretch them all the way to the heal and organise afterwards. I thought at first that talcum powder would best avoid friction, but that’s too messy an option, after all these will been worn during waking hours for much of the day, it better to use a simple thin cotton socks. I don’t need to worry about bed time because I now sleep in a room which is flea free, thankfully!I take the largest size on offer, and while it’s a little bit of a squeeze, the human body adapts and in the back of your mind you know its a good thing and that allows for the extended period of time wearing them. After am entire days use you will find it takes a while for you to get comfortable with yourself after removing the latex sock, but that’s why God built your nose at the other end of your body. I recommend washing yourself and the sock after a day to wearing it, in humid night’s heat it will be dry by the morning.Putting on the latex stock is a chore, but removing it is a simple case of rolling it off, rolling it off like a condom in reverse. I recommend leaving the late text sock inside out overnight. I did find however that after washing the latex sock that it would cling together, I don’t know if that’s due to any residual soap, but I did give mine a thorough rinse, it must just be the way latex behaves?The system I employed to defend myself against fleas also included a pair of latex leggings, as mentioned. These on the inside are lined with cotton for easy slip on, but on the exterior have the impenetrable latex finish to complement the latex sock, the leggings run over the knee give complete protection as fleas favour the lower leg area.The full flea protection system:1. Put on a thin pair of normal cotton socks2. Put on the latex leggings (which have a stirrup)3. Put on the latex sockI found that I received ZERO Bites or even attention from the hard-core gorilla fleas I was still in battle with. I don’t know if they can’t sense my body heat or natural pheromones through the latex, but they don’t even try it from what I can see. Of course the white of the latex sock (if you chose a white pair) easily reveals any black specs that will be fleas, but the black-patent latex leggings wouldn’t.Wearing the system is odd at first, I would advise giving yourself a little bit of extra cotton sock before putting on the latex sock as it pulls everything with it. But you get used to it, and like I said it’s peace of mind is priceless, allowing you to focus on your work (if you work from home) and time for the bites to heal as you don’t scratch them (any scratching is mediated by the latex, preventing any contamination, of which having a dedicated left and right sock really makes sense), but in my case it took ten sleepless knights for my bites to heal, but at least I didn’t get any new bites.I take the largest size, and while the latex sock does fit a UK size ten, you’ll know you’re wearing it. It is after all designed for temporary use, so wearing it all day is pushing it beyond its limits and I did find where the shoes would rub in contact when walking, that holes would develop in the weaker areas of the latex sock (the nipple grips along the soles), but the good people at AquaSafe sent me out a new replacement pair free of charge.However, there is a solution to wearing the hardened foam/rubber flip-flops and that is the ever popular neoprene beach sock, which is like a soft, lose fitting sock in and of itself, but with a toughed sole, which should prevent fatiguing of the usual stressed areas of the latex sock, and probably the ultimate solution.If you’ve ever had serious occurrence of fleas then this is the affordable solution for you!Latex tights: CHICTRY Women's Wet Look Thigh High Latex Stirrup Tights Stockings Costume

I got the swim sock to protect my toe nail as I damaged it really badly and so I could still take my kids swimming... it kept pool water off my foot with very bad nail and still had good time swimming.

These are very difficult to put on, unless there is a knack that I have not found. The problem is the extremely small leg hole that the foot has to go through.. I am a lady with long slender legs. Goodness knows how a man would manage.

Looks good but quite hard to put on /off

Worked well the first use, split on the second. Not sure if they degrade or if I got unlucky, but I was expecting higher quality material.

kept my foot dry in the shower. Can be sweaty if in warm water though and i found that if in warm water (I like hot showers so think hotter than a swimming pool) it could slightly cut off my circulation due to expansion of my foot. Didn't really affect me though and i could wear this in hot water for 20 minutes with no problems.

We bought these for a visit to a water park. We were very glad of them but the reason I only have the product 3 stars is because they were in ribbons at the end of the day there and had to be thrown in the bin.

the quality of the product is good and look well made ,however there ends my good experience , the socks are labeled and sold as up to a size 11 , this is not the case , i have size 10 feet so thought these would be good , i also have a blue pair bought elsewhere so decided to use the blue ones first ,they are identical is=n size and stretchyness, the opening to put these on is very small and i could just get my foot in following instructions on the pack , however when i tried to get the sock over my instep disaster the material could not put up with the strain and tore, i did not want to try with the amazon pair so returned the damaged par to ebay with no problems , went to return the pair to amazon and was not able to even though they are not fit for purpose , so if you have large feet or wide feet of deep instep DO NOT BUY these a they will not fit and you can not send them back
