I agree with all the above-

Argos if they fit well; make sure you take your feet and fins to the dive store to try on the socks.

Limit walking around in them; use sandals for walking.

Here's a tip from PFI.  Use finkeepers even if you have a snug fit-- they help you relax your muscles while diving by eliminating finslip and toe clenching.  Carry a spare pair with your gear at all times.

Another reason for fin keepers is when you dive deeper the neoprene gets compressed and your once snug fitting fin will get wobbly.  It can be unnerving to start to kick up and feel as though you're going to kick off one or both fins.

Sketchy. Ill look into those. Will any brand work fine for the fin keeper?

Here is my advice, carry the socks down to the beach and put them on when you are about to get in the water the rest of the time I use either my hard soll booties or a pair of sandles to walk around in, somthing that is easy to put on and off. that way you do not where out your dive socks, they are not the tuffest. As for what I kind recomend is the Yazbeck Camo Supra Flex-O-fit Neoprene Diving Socks - 3 mm like others have said dont forget fin keppers. here is alink to buy some at amazon.com

Nope no one got back to me, but heck even if some one would have the water was way to nasty to think of doing a night dive ! maybe next new years !
