These are perfect for elderly in pools with tender feet on the floor of the pool.
I bought like 10 pairs of these for a group of us floating down a river in Texas and they worked well for that. I just wanted something to keep my bare foot off the bottom of the river and protect from the hot pavement, too, That's the kind of thing these water socks are good for.
NOT hiking though rocks along the river.
I loved them especially for the price and I'm passing it on to you, because we only used 4 pairs.
The L is for a women's 7.5-8.5, men's 6-7 so this is really like a small but I'm giving the size in the tag so there is no confusion
The XL is for men's 7-8 and women's 8.5-9.5
The XXL is for Men's 8-9 women's 9.5-10.5 Please not that men's 9 is the largest size (the XXL)
These are packaged in a plastic clear bag with the size stamped on it. That is the "New in packaging". It is as they came to me
