For medical reasons I cannot get saltwater and pool water on my feet.

Does anyone know of or use waterproof socks? I've tried looking, but I only find socks that are not made for swimming and such.

Check with a diving pro shop anon

>>1073506
have you looked for verruca socks ? I don't think the sealskinz or berghaus ones I have would be ideal for swimming.
>>
>>1073530
Could work, but I would probably need some shoes for protection and some kind of tape around the ankle.
>>1073529
No-one around as far as I know.
>>
>>1073553
Umm... Try the internet then?

Wetsuit or surf boots- basically a 3mm thick neoprene sock, though they'd be a cunt to run around in normally
>>
>>1073571
The idea is to not get wet feet at all (sweat is okay tho).
>>
>>1073581
A full body wetsuit might be an option.
>>
>>1073588
Isn't the point of wetsuits to keep warm, not dry?

Why has no one inquired into this yet?
>>
go ask on a diabetics forum
>>
>>1073793
Is there a point in doing so?
Anyway, the reason is eczema. Saltwater makes them dry out and crack in minutes, chlorine seems to literally eat the skin.

>>1073806
What?
>>
>>1073592
Fair point. OP, you need a drysuit.
>>
>>1073987
Let's say I don't want to spend thousands on a drysuit to whip out in 20+ degrees for a little swim.

Plastidip your feet.

>>1073984
????????????? just don't go in the pool or ocean?

what in the actual fuck why did you make this thread?
>>
>>1074062
I want to learn how to swim, but I don't want to be a literal cripple from the eczema. If this is incomprehensible to you, or if you don't have any answer to my original question, please leave.
>>
>>1073806
diabetics can get ulcers that they're not supposed to get wet.
>>
>>1074103
He's saying that you should just swim in freshwater. Seems like a valid point.
>>
>>1074110
Oh.
Not exactly an option around here, though.
>>
>>1073984
Doesnt make sense, saltwater is actually good for against eczema.
>>
>>1074220
That's what I've been told since I was a kid, but my experience with saltwater is the complete opposite. I rather doubt the doctors have misdiagnosed eczema.
