- removing said footless sock from said area.
- 6. The method of claim 5, said step of removing comprising:
- pulling said footless sock from between said one of the legs of the wet suit and said area such that said footless sock slides over the human foot.
- 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:
- forming a boot of said spun high density polyethylene fiber material, said boot having a size suitable for covering a human foot;
- placing said boot over said human foot;
- sliding one of the legs of the wet suit over said boot until said boot extends outwardly of said one of the legs; and
- removing said boot from said human foot.
- 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising the steps of:
- forming another boot of said spun high density polyethylene fiber material, said another boot having a size suitable for covering another human foot;
