Gentlemen, let’s be frank: cold feet are the arch-nemesis of any noble aquatic endeavour. Whether you’re a seasoned wild swimmer, a keen snorkeler, or simply someone who shudders at the thought of frosty toes, the Finisterre Nieuwland 3mm Yulex® Swim Socks (£45) are here to rescue your extremities. These aren’t your grandad’s saggy woollies. Crafted from innovative 3mm Yulex® natural rubber, a plant-based alternative to traditional neoprene that boasts an 80% reduction in carbon emissions, these socks are both eco-conscious and exceptionally warm.

They’re designed to keep the cold out when those winter winds really start howling, extending your ocean adventures well beyond summer. They’re even compatible with swim fins, so your underwater exploration remains unrestricted. With double-blind stitching and taped seams for superior durability and a flexible, hard-wearing construction, your feet will thank you. Pair them with a Finisterre Yulex® wetsuit, and you might just become a mythical, perpetually warm sea creature. No more icy regrets, just pure, unadulterated aquatic bliss.
