Would these soles hold up playing sand volleyball? Vincere sand socks have thin soles that wear through after about a month.

Dicey. I use them to keep my feet warm while kayaking in cold weather. The bottom is a soft diamond pattern of the same material as the sock. I noticed the other day that the diamond pattern around the ball of my foot (where it pushes on the foot brace) was starting to wear. I've since attached moleskin to the foot brace so I'm not pushing against the hard plastic. Sand is pretty abrasive. I believe neoprene boots have a hard sole; those might work better on sand. Hope you find something that works for you.

I would not recommend these for playing Beach Volleyball. These Socks are a great product, but are basically made to wear when using fins. They make getting your foot in and out of the fins a breeze! For Beach Volleyball, I would recommend a water shoe with a harder sole.

Yes indeed. It's like a fine grade builders or play sand. I would stick with white versus colored versions though as some coloration can rub off if there is moisture present.

In my opinion I think they would hold up in the weather but the matting gets dirty very easily. It shows every foot print or piece of dirt. Hope that helps.

Better. I ran a 50k in the socks and my VFFs. I also wear both on runs over half-marathon distances. I found my legs feel much better over the course of a run, and I have no issues when wearing them with VFFs. In fact, I'd say I prefer their texture over regular Injinjis while wearing my VFFs.

They seem to hold up pretty well with heavy, daily abuse. I would give them 2 years tops, but hey it's way cheaper that what the doctor wanted to prescribe. Once you get the first pair, they will send you a promotion to buy more at a discounted rate....If they seem to work for you(give it a week to break it and notice the difference) get more so you minimize the wear on one. It also depends on you body weight, extent or extremity of use and type/purpose of footwear.

These are great boots, I use them with my open hill fins, when you get out of the water these will hold water inside, this means that the top cloth is sealed (not like the mesh type beach sand) so sand won't enter inside the boot but if the water is sandy? I love these boots, they are great and very comfortable, I haven't seen any signs of damage.

If you can go 1/2 size down it might be alright but not a full size. They need to fit fairly tight to keep the sand out. I normally wear a 8 1/2 shoe, so an 8 fits very well. They're a good shoe and they stretch on comfortably.

My pair start leaking sand too after one month. I can not return it to Amazon. Now I just use the Nayoya weight for my feet and hand ( work out better then the Reebok one). Oh ! well you still could use the wrist weight out door only until all the sand leak out. Amazon should not sell it to us.

I run with these every day. Last long. I have not tried them in barefoot running shoes but imagine these would help since barefoot running shoes have no arch support.

I live in Vegas and it's hot and dry. I don't know how they'd be in humid weather, but mine lasted about 6 months and definitely got crunchy after each game. Switched to a 50 dollar Nike pair and never going back.

I bought these for surf kayaking. I think the sole is probably too rigid for surfing. They may however, work for paddle boarding.

I haven't worn my yet. I had to order a half size larger because they run small. We are going to go bowling in the fall. Seems everyone is so busy in the summer. That is to bad the soles cracked in half. I hope it doesn't happen to mine. Good luck with new bowling shoes to replace yours!

My daughter is 12 years old and wears a size 8-9 women's shoes and uses these socks for sand volleyball we order a size small. Hope that helps.

They might, but you might want to get the type that comes up over the ankle. I walked along the beach and in water up to my knees and got some sand in them. Not a lot, though.

eventually. they did start to wear out the coating on the toes and bottoms in about 6 weeks of walking several times a day on a dirt road. the inner liner was still there but it would probably wear as well.

I had issues with their durability. They fell apart after 2 weeks. Hope that helps.

I glued the sole of my Birkenstock back on an I wear them inside the house and out. I believe they have gotten wet and they are still holding up.
