Neoprene gloves, socks and shoes

Neoprene accessories

You wouldn’t believe how much of a difference something as small as neoprene socks can make for winter swimming! We’ve had neoprene socks in our selection for nearly 10 years now. Only a few years ago, we received our first customer feedback saying that the socks had been an invaluable help for ice swimming. Since then, word has spread, and we’ve started recommending neoprene socks to swimmers ourselves — and they’ve surely helped hundreds of winter swimmers since! While the purpose of winter swimming is to experience the cold and get your blood circulating, painfully cold toes or soles are hardly anyone’s main goal. Socks provide warmth and protection just where it’s needed, and with them, it’s much more comfortable to climb the swim ladders or walk on icy docks. And if you have a longer walk, the socks fit nicely inside Crocs or similar shoes. Neoprene socks are quick and easy to put on and take off before your dip. After use, it’s best to dry them like any other gear. Once dry, they’ll slip on much more comfortably the next time you swim! If your hands and fingers tend to get cold as well, or if icy railings feel unpleasant against bare skin, neoprene gloves can also be a great help and nicely complement your swimming gear. We offer three different sock options. The most popular is Jobe’s 2mm neoprene sock, which feels almost weightless on your feet and fits snugly. Another option is the slightly thicker Cressi neoprene sock, which features a textured sole for better grip on slippery surfaces. The third option is the Cressi 5mm thick neoprene sock, perfect if your feet get cold easily. Our selection also includes neoprene shoes, which are great not only for winter swimming but also for summer use. They feature a durable hard sole that provides excellent grip on rocky shores and protects your feet from sharp stones.
