Blueseventy Swim Socks Reviews

Size: Feels too big

I like that these socks are very easy to swim in, very flexible, but I don't like why they are so flexible. They are a bit too thin to keep me warm in water below 60 degrees. They worked great for getting into and out of the lake during my long swims, I have tender feet. I wear a 9.5 to 10 size running shoe but have very low-volume, medium width feet so I ordered a small. They fit perfectly. I would say they fit just slightly big. I will look for thicker/warmer socks but keep these for regular use in open water swimming in warmer conditions.

I love these socks for open water swims if the entry is rocky or muddy, or if the water is extremely cold, or if it's a long distance to/from the transition area.  They are easy to slip on and off, feel secure, have a nicely reinforced bottom, and work well.  I am on my second pair - the first lasted about three years before wearing through (I swim about once/week where the entry has gravel/rocks/mud).   I'm constantly recommending these to other people first getting into open water swims.

These worked perfect in the sub 60 degree water temperature.  They are stretchy enough to fit different size feet.  I wear a 9 1/2 shoe and bought the small.  A great piece of swim gear to own!

I used it  in Lake Michigan and the water temp was 52 degrees , it kept my feet much wormer. I ordered a pair of small sox, I wear mens 8.5 to 9.5 shoes and these fit very good. I like that they did not feel loose, felt like i wasn't even wearing them.

Used the socks during an ironman swim. Kept my feet warm and protected them while getting in/out the lake. Provide great grip.

Since purchasing, I've worn these swim socks twice while swimming in the Hudson River.  I was satisfied with the fit.  They kept my feet warm along with protecting my feet from the uncertain surface of the river floor when walking into the river.  There was no concern about the socks slipping off my feet as they stayed intact. They wash well.  Just hose off with cold water.  I would highly recommend its purchase.  I've not had any bad experiences.

I bought the socks to use during the swim portion of a triathlon where we knew the water was going to be extremely cold. I was concerned that the socks would fill up with water and weigh me down.  I was pleasantly shocked by the warmth they provided and they did not weigh me down.  The water was so cold that the race officials shortened the swim distance by half.  I was glad for the socks.

Before buying these, I was most concerned about size. I wear a women's 9. The "small" size fit just great though if you have larger feet I'd suggest going up to the next size. I used the socks for a windy, open water race in which the water was maybe 53 degrees. Though I've been in water that cold before, I've never been quite as comfortable, relatively speaking. They didn't capture a lot of excess water, and stayed put. Excellent gear that I'm sure I'll use again.
