I used the product as a wet insulating layer under foul weather gear and neoprene booties to ward off the cold, sailing in 56* water in San Francisco.
This product did effectively keep me warm, but I think a design incorporating more neoprene panels better shaped to a foot would help it fit better and more comfortably inside footwear.
Ordering a size smaller prevents the fit problems associated with excess material, the neoprene stretches to fit anyway.

Foot was way too big to put a shoe on over the sock. Fits fine in the calf, so I don't think XS would be the solution, but it would be great to have differentiation in shoe size when choosing the size for these.

Comments about NRS Boundary Sock with HydroCuff:
I purchased the HydroCuff socks to solve for the issue of numb feet, which I experience by the end of a river rafting trip. Before purchasing the HydroCuff sock I would wear the aqua booties provided by the rafting company, resulting in burning cold feet, that eventually went numb by the end of the 4+ hour trip. I use these socks once so far a few weeks ago during a 4 hour rafting trip. I wore the sock and walking sandals, no aqua booties, as the HydroCuff socks are bulky around the toe area. I put on the HydroCuff sock and then the wetsuit over top. I just made sure that when I was walking in the river that I did not go deeper than the socks. The experience was positive. By the end of the 4 hours in the river raft my feet were just a little cool. These socks greatly improved my enjoyment of the rafting ride.

Comments about NRS Boundary Sock with HydroCuff:
These socks are the best way to keep your feet dry while entering and exiting a kayak. You can put your boat in the water, so you don't scrape the bottom, and walk into water, but your feet will stay dry. The only problem is that the socks are so thick that my feet will not fit in my river shoes.

Comments about NRS Boundary Sock with HydroCuff:
I wear these while sailing my Hobie 16 in cold water/weather, the 16's known as a wet boat. First unloading from the trailer, I'm in the water almost to my waist, socks are well underwater but my feet will stay dry. I also have to walk the boat out untill the water is over my knees before I can board the boat I 'm able to put a pair of wool socks on first and the two pair have kept my feet warm during 4 hrs of non-stop sailing. The only thing I would like to add would be the sole from the Deserado socks.

The XL should fit you just fine.Answered on 4/9/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Good Afternoon, I would recommend the larger size since many of my fellow paddlers wear a sock inside of the boundary sock for warmth. I wear a size nine and bought the large which is perfect. Please be reminded that the boundary sock requires more space inside a sandal or boot. I had to buy a larger sandal. Hope this helps.Answered on 4/9/2013 by Anonymous

Q:
I have two questions. One, I use a pair of Kokatat TROPOS Whirlpool Bibs to kayak in. They have ankle gaskets that keep water from getting above my ankles, but in cold water, I'd like to keep my feet dry as well. Can I use a pair of NRS boundary socks, with the ankle gaskets from my bibs over the socks to keep both my feet and legs dry? And question two. I wear a mens size 10 1/2 shoe, what size socks should I order?
Thank youAsked on 12/11/2012 by Phil from Stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army3 answers
A:
There are two taped seam that runs up the sock. You might get a bit of seepage there, but it shouldn't be much. You'll want the XL sock.Answered on 12/11/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER

A:
Answer to number one, yes you can, but you cannot submerge your foot higher than your sock height as there will be wrinkles in your ankle gasket that will allow water to go above gasket height, you may have a problem with your gasket being too tight though and causing you discomfort on long paddles. I personally wear a pair of spray pants over my boundary socks that have a Velcro closure so you can regulate the tightness at your ankle. They also allow for your pants to drain quicker. I would order the XL size. Hope this helps.
