I love these socks
They are exactly what I was looking for. I have water shoes, and they work surprisingly well at the beach, especially if you are renting a house where you can walk to it. The only problem is sand gets in them, so after a day they feel gritty. I was looking for ones that go up your ankle a bit, hopefully keeping out more sand. These are it. They have a similar bottom to water shoes, with grippy beads (perfect for walking on multiple surfaces like sand and asphalt). I will let you know how well they hold up.

Decent product. Go for it
I can’t complain what you get for the amount you pay is worth it. They are actually really comfortable compared to what I was expecting if you’re having doubts go ahead and do it. I’m keeping mine.

I can make it work for beach volleyball
Update #2:After using them on a more consistent basis, I found a happy but not ideal equilibrium. After rain (with wet or slightly wet sand), I use the Randy Sun. The rubber sole is sturdy enough to not wear a hole. When it hasn't rained for a while (with completely dry sand), I use normal sand socks. The Randy Sun lets in too much sand when the sand is completely dry. I still wear a hole with my normal sand socks, but at about twice the number of days. If it rains a few times a month, I may wear a hole in my normal sand socks in 8 weeks instead of 4 weeks if I play once a week. I am happy that I am spending less money on sand socks, but not so happy that I can't wear the Randy Sun all the time. So I recommend using the Randy Sun (high top) along with normal sand socks depending on the situation. I raise one star for Randy Sun to four stars.Update:I dropped 2 stars for the product, so now it is only 3 stars. I wore these socks for the first time to play in dry sand. They filled up with about a quarter pound of fine sand on each foot part way into a game. By the end of the game, I felt dragged down by the extra weight and mass. For wet, hard packed sand these socks are perfect. However, I don't think I can wear them for dry loose sand. As a comparison, I wore normal sand socks for some games and I could go on 2 or 3 games without having to empty the sand. For the Sandy Sun, I have to empty them before the end of a game. Normal sand socks are made of Lycra uppers. The Randy Sun is a cloth material which has bigger gaps - thus the reason for collection sand. Normal sand socks still wear out too quickly for me. I wish the Randy Sun (with its rubber sole) can have the upper part made of Lycra like normal sand socks.Original review:I am a high intermediate/advanced beach doubles player. My style of play requires a lot of jumping, quick start/stops and diving. Normal sand socks wear out quickly. Usually on the first wear, the beginning of a hole under the big toes will start to develop. By the 4th wear the holes will be big enough for me to throw out the sand socks. These Randy Sun sand socks, however, have a rubber sole which means no holes at all. I've only used these socks a couple of times but so far so good. Also, the thicker rubber sole provides much better insulation against the cold sand - I don't even notice the coldness. Additionally, the socks are not designated as left or right, so if a hole develops on one side, I can always switch them to the other foot.Sand does accumulate inside the socks so I empty them between games. It is kind of a hassle but normal sand socks have a similar problem. Get the high top so less sand gets in. Also, the cloth material shrinks after a cold water rinse - tight to put on when dried but loosens up a bit after some movement.

Hazards of Walking Barefoot
OMG !! LOVE These !! I wear them Everyday around my home. No problems with walking on Hot Pavement, stones or driveway ! I've recommended these to friends !! Great Product ! They Fit Perfectly, I'm glad I bought the size mediums ! ** I just received my 'socks' today and I am trying them out. My husband always reprimands me for walking 'barefoot' outside due to Red Ants and other hazards. If I wear socks outside they always end up with holes! I wanted to try these out and see how they work. I usually wear a woman's size 8-8 1/2 but because of the reviews and measuring my foot I ordered the Size Medium instead of Large. I'm not sure if that was the right choice ? My great toe is protruding at the end and I'm concerned that it will tear through due to my Nails ?! I'll have wear theses socks for awhile and see how they do. Also the band around my ankle is quite snug, maybe it's meant to be that way to prevent slipping off? (And No, I do not have Fat Ankles!) ☺️

These are still slippery
I bought these before going to the great Wolf Lodge expecting they would protect my feet and have grip on the bottom but during my visit, I slipped and fell so these do not prevent you from slipping. Keep that in mind if you’re looking at these. The fit was good, but I wouldn’t buy these again and I wouldn’t recommend them.

Fall risk
Dislike: Fall risk, these are very slippery around pool deck. I thought the "sticky bottm" as advertised these would be safer for walking around the pool. WRONG, walking only a few feet into indoor pool, I hit a wet spot and found myself on the floor with a substantial knee injury. After my knee healed up (4 weeks), I tried them one more time just to be sure it wasn't a fluke. Walking even slower than before, 5 feet into pool area, hitting a wet spot, I felt a slip. Took them off immediately. "Wear at your own risk", should be stamped on these aqua socks.Like: comfortable, Light weight, easy to wear but dangerous.

Water sock/shoe
Bought these to wear kiteboarding. They are way too clunky and fit kinda weird. They are made very well and seem durable though

Good Product
Everything was as advertised

Everyone should have them
This is a great product that everyone should have. I do metal detecting on our beaches and the sand is full of metal, nails, spikes, fishing hooks and slag.Unlike water shoes these socks look and feel like socks. Comfort for sure and a protected bottom that’s not bulky

Parfait pour le camping!
Parfait plage sable ou roches et piscine! Ne blesse pas. La semelle est assez rigide pour faire un peu de vélo entre la roulotte et la plage. 2 paires et un petit sac de transport. Exactement ce qu'on cherchait 😁😁 assez long à sécher par contre

Exactly as Shown!
I bought these beach socks to swim in the ocean at a rocky beach. The came nicely packaged with a handy nylon travel bag. I am a size 7 so I selected a size medium. They fit perfectly. The bottoms are made of a tacky rubber like material that bends and flexes; the top is a soft man-made material in a fun pattern. I like the lower cut as I will be wearing it with a bathing suit. Definitely happy with this purchase!

Excited for Summer!
I'm a size 7 foot and bought the small. These fit great and will be perfect for paddleboarding this summer. I have to do a small portage over a road to get to the big side of the lake so this will save my feet!

Sizing was an issue, seems like a good product
I wear a size 9½ shoe/boot, medium in these didn't fit so I gave them to a girlfriend who wears a women's size 8 and they fit her well. The soles seem to made of a decent material, I'll try a large next.
