The Palma ST 3mm are manufactured from a super elastic and ultra-durable 3mm thick Neoprene and Nylon to ensure warmth and comfort. Ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. These short socks are great for either full foot or open heel fins. The socks are lightweight and a great addition to the traveling diver's gear bag. Socks are extremely comfortable equipped with a Rubber Grip Sole design to assist with Non-Slip on wet surfaces such as boat decks and slipper ladders. The Palma are built-to-last with glued-and-sewn seams for strength and durability. The Palma ST socks are designed in Italy by Cressi and made in China. Cressi has been an Italian brand pioneer in scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming equipment since 1946. The product is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.

Worked better than expected. I used them for about 3 hours of snorkeling. On a wet boat deck I did not slip. The socks did get a little heavy once they were water logged, but the stayed in place and weren't falling off.With my foot fins on they worked great. They are pretty buoyant and require a little extra work to move through the water, but they help a lot when you want to float and check out what's around you.The were a little uncomfortable around the toe area. I have wide feet, I adjusted them a little walked around the boat and that was it. They were not bothering me the entire time I had them on or anything.

Immediate return!
Initially I was excited to think I have finally found the right pair of socks, too soon to celebrate. First, the pair is not the ones I picked from the advertised photo. Second, it hurt my feelings to notice the inaccuracy of the size. I’m 10.5 in shoes, I bought this socks on 11/12 size, from my photos you can see how they crush my toes together as if they are 9.5 size. Immediate return, I’m eager to enjoy this summer!!

Works great!
They fit great, and worked like a charm! My fins were rubbing my feet so I ordered these and they took all of the aggravation away out of wearing fins barefoot. The only downside is that they fill up with water and feel weird walking around the boat but that’s really not a big deal. The leather bottom is nice for wearing them in shallow water and walking around, keeps the occasional shell from stabbing you in the foot.

These were very comfortable both in and out of our fins
My husband and I each got a pair. They are SOCKS, the bottom treatment is only to prevent slippage NOT to protect feet. If you need something harder, get a dive bootie with a hard sole. These were very comfortable both in and out of our fins. HIGHLY recommend!

Good value for price
They’re a little loose, but they work well for my adjustable fins. The no slip grip stuff on the bottom seems a little cheap; I’ll be interested to see how long they last. Good value for price though.

Excellent fit.
I purchased these socks based on the previous Amazon ratings. I intend to wear them while snorkelling. I wear a size 10 shoe and these socks fit perfectly. They looked too small next to my feet, but when I slipped them on, they’re perfect.

My go-to booties for full-foot fins for years now.
Well made, good bottom grip but not overly sticky, no extra material to bunch up in your fins. Bought a couple extra pairs for when they inevitably are no longer available.

Sizing is a little off
These are super comfy, durable, easy to get on/off and great at protecting my feet when I wear my Cressi Gara 3000, however, sizing is a little off in my opinion. I wear a US women’s 7.5-8 with slightly wider feet and bought the X-Small/Small and they fit perfect but the size chart would’ve had me buying a size bigger. If I look on the tag it says US 5/6 and EU 37-40 which explains why they fit perfect; I’m a 39/40 in EU sizing so my advice is to go by the EU sizing when choosing your size otherwise they’ll be too big. Hope this helps!

Fantastic combination with Cressi travel short fins.
These neoprene socks were comfortable with no odd seams and good fit in Cressi SAF Palau short travel fins. They help pad the edges of the foot in the fins as well as the back of the heel with the straps if one is snorkeling for 1-2 hours at a time. They were also useful getting out of the water without having reef shoes in rough surfaces.

Good product
Returned from Jamaica where I wore these around alot. I ordered the M/L for my 10.5 size, they were snug and a little cramped in the toes. Maybe a size up would have been better. Overall though they worked great in my fins and walking on the sand (I hate sand) They seemed solid and will probably last a couple of years.

Would shopping be too simple if all Cressi products were consistently high quality...
I have a few pieces of Cressi dive gear and these are not in the same league quality wise. Don't expect rubber grips on the bottom, these look and feel like an iron on transfer of a tread pattern. My 3 year old son's socks have better grips. General impression when I received them was 'unacceptably cheap'. Wouldn't expect these to last long if I had to walk across rocks to get to the water. I had hoped the Cressi name represented a standard of quality that would fit in with the other products I've used of theirs, but no luck. Returning these, and will continue using my 20 year old Asoka neoprene booties (yes I know the Palma is a fin sock and isn't supposed to be a bootie) until I find a better quality product. Frustrating waste of time.

Very disappointed.
NOTHING like what is in the description. I wear 11, these are XL and are a little too small. The soles are not like the listing. Just a pressed-on pattern on the material. I wanted the rubber sole. These go up past the ankle unlike the listing.EDIT: I found out that the wrong style was sent. Amazon is sending me the correct pair.

Would buy again
I wore these in Greece this past summer, they are excellent. I have size 12 feet though and I think these fit a bit on the large size..(and I have big 12's). Keep that in mind as you start to worry they might slip off while swimming. I bought a second pair for my wife.

Used these in Dominican Republic to a good result
I'd get a size smaller. I wear 9D for Allen Edmonds and 8 for some European shoes. I ordered medium and wish I'd gotten Small instead. Otherwise very comfy and looks good. Wore these to various water sports activities such as snuba, speed boating, snorkeling and all good.

Amazing addition to my snorkeling gear
Amazing addition to my snorkeling gear. Even in the warm Cuban ocean water these Cressi socks made my feet feel snug and warm in my flippers. They prevented my feet from cramping and proved durable after multiple uses.

Looks and feels high quality.
My flippers fit perfectly so may not even need these. I bought them because several people in their reviews recommended using the socks as a guard against chafing while snorkeling. Haven't gone on our vacation yet so will update this review after our return in February 2019. Item was delivered right on time. No complaints!

Muy comodos con las aletas
Estos botines son muy cómodos junto con las aletas, evita que nos lleguemos a lastimar los pies cuando se realiza la actividad de bucear o snorkel.De igual forma son comodos para caminar en la arena o en pequeñas piedras ya que no se derrapan por su suela de goma.

Happy feet!
Every time I go on a snorkel trip I vow to bring aqua socks the next time! Finally remembered to buy these and was so happy! Protected my fresh-out-of-winter-boots flip flop blister, walking on rocks and a bit of iron shore less treacherous.

Good
They are pretty good, maybe a little to thick for wearing with ur flippers but I don’t mind them

They look great and appear to be good quality.
I cant comment on them as I am waiting for the ice to melt on the lakes before I can use them. They do feel and look good but thats why a 50/50 rating.

Totally worth it!
Fit like a glove and no seams to cause discomfort! Love them!
