Are Aqua socks legal during the swim?

During two local tri’s this summer a number of us ended up with cuts on our feet from zebra muscles(sp) in the water. Would wearing some type of Aqua sock to avoid the problem next year be legal? They are USAT races.

I don’t see why not. Booties are legal.

But I’d test whatever you decide on in the water, first. Seems like anything I put on my feet other than fins screws my kick- my feet just slip through the water.
