I want to wear these for ocean stand up paddle boarding while the water is still cold. Will these help to keep my feet warm if they are wet?

I agree with both previous respinders but unless high wind speed I think you'd be quite pleased with how much warmer than bare feet

if it is a windy day, this may not be as useful as you would think. the evaporation caused by the wind could make your feet cold, I have noticed this while in my wetsuit going from one dive site to the next via boat

They did not keep my feet warm in 45 degree water. I bought a pair for surfing and my feet were freezing. The seams are not glued so water moves through them freely. In my opinion, they must be for protective wear such as for diving in warm water.

They fit quite tight so that is good, but they are a thin sock as apposed to a bootie. I wrote mine under my fins to snorkel and they kept my feet warm and helped protect from blisters

your feet will get wet but the instantly warm up to body temperature. they work great for me

These socks are tough to rate for activities like that. It will certainly keep your feet dry in terms of outside snow, but your feet will end up very wet due to sweat, as they do not breath at all. Think of it like wearing a wetsuit on your foot.

I am not sure on the wind factor. I believe they should keep your hands warm. The pair I purchased were for ice fishing.

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

They are made of thick rubber, so yes. They will definitely keep your feet dry. But there is no lining in them. You'll need to add a liner or thick socks. I'd guess that if you won't be outside for very long that that would make a decent snow boot if you add liners and/or thick socks. If you are going to be outside for a longer period of time or live in extremely cold climates, then this is probably not the best choice for you.

I've never walked in surf with these boots (assuming that you mean with bare legs), but based on experience with similar neoprene water shoes (assuming again that you"d be in water over the boot top), I wouldn't bet that it would keep out anything smaller than a pea. In calm water maybe, but not in surging ocean surf. In my opinion, you'd be safe only if the boot tops were covered by a long legged wet suit.

No they wont. If they fit snugly (order a half size smaller), they may insulate your feet from water and the elements. But they wont keep your feet from getting wet.

yes, they can get pretty toasty in there. i only wear them to walk to work in the morning as there is dew all over the grass & gets my feet & pants wet & they seem to be fine. but i have worn them out to check on my garden & they definitely keep your feet warm.

They'd keep your feet dry, but they are not insulated. Maybe they'd be warm enough with thick socks.

These keep my dog's feet from getting wet so they are not as cold when he walks in the snow. He used to whine and lift his paws in the snow but doesn't anymore when we use these, so they may help keep dogs' feet warm to an extent.

I bought them for kayaking.They run small though, I bought an XL and they fit like they are 1 size smaller.

To be honest, I only know they will protect your feet from the rough surface. That is why I bought them. However, I use them with open heel fins. I don't try to swim with them alone.

Hi, This is not a wetsuit, but I was comfortable wearing it in VERY cold water on a beach weekend. I think it did help me meet my daughter's challenge to get in and catch some waves with her. So, yes/no. It helps, but there are other products made for swimming/surfing in coldest temps. Eileen

They will help, but are maybe not thick enough for serious thermal protection. Excellent, though, for keeping road-salt and ice from paws. 3rd winter, 2nd pair.

I'm not a scuba diver but I can tell you that I wore these while volunteering for Ironman CDA where the water temp was 63 degrees! I spent almost 4 hours in the water and can say that my feet kept perfectly warm. The socks are pretty true to size. Hope this helps!

I live in San Diego and sick where my feet are cold even the summer. These insoles keep my feet warm with one pair of thin cotton socks and they do not make your feet sweat. They are made in Canada where it gets really cold. If I were you I would buy a couple of pair because I think you will really like them. They do not look like anything special, but they are.

I am sure they will make your feet sweat if you don't wear socks as they are not lined with anything. I have only had mine this winter and don't know how they will be in warmer weather. Although awkward to put on I am very pleased with mine so far and they are relatively comfortable to wear.
