I can just see the 220 magazine kit review now:
10/10 Editor’s Choice
PC67 Global Sports Products Ltd. has filled a valuable gap in the triathlon market, with a product that will save thousands of age groupers valuable seconds in transition. Many of these age groupers are uncomfortable cycling and running without socks and waste valuable time putting on socks after their swim.
PC67 has revolutionised this sector by creating skin tight ankle socks made of synthetic fabric that can be worn in the swim and which cause no loss of feeling in the water. The swimmer can simply exit the water and slip on his cycling shoes during T1. Just like a tri-suit, the fabric retains no water and hence is comfortable and prevents friction against the skin when wearing both cycling and running shoes.
The socks cost about 2p each to make but adding the required Traithlon added Tax retail at £25 for a pack of 3 pairs.
For the performance conscious racer, the socks also come in red.
Now: am I mad, do they already exist, or is there something in this?

I had figured that flippers were outlawed but not socks. I know swimmers use those neoprene socks for swimming OW in coldish conditions.
what if they were like 5-finger shoes and actually moulded to the foot so as not to increase drag?
As an aside if you suffer from cold hands and feet in OD,just advise the race REF that you need to wear bootees and mittens,and they should allow it for good reason.
Surely the cord connecting left and right would be a nightmare in wetsuit...
Am currently looking at supergluing digits together to create webbed effect-worked well until unable to leave bike in T2
