I have been using Atomic open heel splits since 2001. My dive buddy tried out the full foot atomics and I borrowed them for a dive.

I'm now looking at switching to full foots for most diving I do. They're lighter, easier to pack, and are about the same performance-wise. The problem is, I am sure I would get blisters of ulcers from wearing them sockless for a full week on 3-5 dives daily.

So, does anyone here have a favorite fin sock they high recommend for full foots? What brand and did you have to get a larger shoe sized fin to wear with them?
 
Lycra or neoprene socks are the likeliest choice with full foot fins for most people, but my preference, if I'm not wearing a full suit, is to don "dry socks" similar to those on footed drysuits when I'm snorkelling with full foot fins. They seal to the calf so they don't admit water and I can wear any type of sock underneath:
