How to Wear Mares Flex 30 Ultrastretch socks

The Mares Flex 30 Ultrastretch socks have an Open-Cell interior, allowing them to adhere perfectly to your skin without letting water in. To put them on, pour some soapy water into the sock, hold it closed at the top, shake slightly, pour the water over your feet, and put the sock on.

Why Neoprene Socks are Essential for Freediving

Freediving socks are essential because the large blades of freediving fins generate significant force between the foot and the fin. Without socks, sores can quickly develop, especially during long training sessions in the pool or saltwater. A small sore can ruin your entire vacation.

Safe Entry and Exit from the Water

Be particularly careful when entering the water over rocks! Climb slowly on all fours and don't try to imitate a mountaineer. Neoprene socks provide less grip on rocks, especially if there is soapy water involved. Make sure your sock doesn't get stuck on the rock while your foot slips forward.

Tip: Choosing Fins for Summer and Winter

The Mares Flex 30 Ultrastretch Socks are perfect for warm temperatures, while the Mares Flex Gold 50 Ultrastretch Socks provide extra warmth in winter. Choose the foot pocket of your fins to fit the 3mm socks for optimal power transfer and comfort. In winter, consider a second pair of fins with a larger foot pocket for the 5mm socks.

Tip: Soapy Water for Open-Cell Suits and Socks

Open-Cell suits and socks adhere to the skin thanks to their open pores, providing perfect thermal protection. To put them on, use a soapy film. Fill a 1.5-liter PET bottle with hot water and add 1-2cm of shampoo. Shake the bottle and your lubricant is ready. Use biodegradable shampoo to protect the environment.
