Fitting Notes — Speedo Latex Socks
  • Speedo latex socks should fit snugly over the foot with no bunching or excess material at the toe. They stretch to conform to the shape of the foot.
  • If you are between sizes, always size up — a slightly larger sock is much easier to put on and more comfortable to wear than one that is too tight.
  • To put on, wet your feet first or dampen the inside of the sock slightly — latex grips dry skin and can be difficult to pull on without moisture.
  • Latex socks provide no grip on wet pool surfaces — exercise care when walking poolside and in changing rooms.
  • Rinse in cold fresh water after every use and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not use talcum powder, oils, or petroleum-based products as these degrade latex.
  • Unsuitable for anyone with a latex allergy. If in doubt, consult a medical professional before use.
  • Unsure? Contact our team or call +44 1827 330600. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are unsure.

Yes. Speedo latex socks are suitable for adults and children alike. The XS size covers UK junior shoe sizes 9–12 (EU 25–31), making it suitable for children and younger teens. Always check that your child does not have a latex allergy before use.

Wet your feet or slightly dampen the inside of the sock before putting it on — latex grips dry skin and can be difficult to pull on without moisture. Roll the sock down rather than pulling it straight on, working from the toe up. If the sock feels very difficult to put on, try the next size up.

Latex socks provide a hygienic barrier between your feet and communal wet surfaces such as pool floors and changing room areas, which can help reduce the risk of picking up verrucas, athlete's foot, and other fungal infections. They are widely used as a preventative hygiene measure, though no product can guarantee complete protection.

Rinse your latex socks in cold fresh water immediately after every use to remove chlorine, salt, and bacteria. Allow to air dry thoroughly away from direct sunlight before storing. Do not use talcum powder, oils, petroleum jelly, or any oil-based products as these degrade latex and will shorten the lifespan of the socks. Store in a cool, dry place.

No. Speedo latex socks are made from natural latex and are not suitable for anyone with a latex allergy. If you are unsure whether you have a latex sensitivity, consult a medical professional before use. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are looking for an alternative poolside hygiene solution.

Latex socks provide very little grip on wet pool surfaces and are primarily a hygiene product rather than a slip-resistance product. Exercise care and walk slowly when wearing latex socks poolside or in wet changing areas. If grip is a priority, consider pairing them with poolside sandals or slides over the top.
