Decided to get these for ocean swims while on vacation. Biggest disappointment was size, I am a size 8 dress shoe/9 running and got the mediums as recommended.
They were not snug when I tried them on at home. They filled w/water during the swim, which may also happen in a smaller size since the are a waterproof sock .
Otherwise I was extremely comfortable in the water even though it was 'warm' (65 degrees give or take).
I would recommend these but get them so they are snug.
