Little bit of a winter cheat!

I just discovered neoprene scuba diving socks!
Suggested as I always wear the lining in my wellies at the heel and therefore squeak every step, I then end up trying to walk a bit weirdly so not to annoy everyone ?
Current wellies are Chemeau’s so quite expensive and still totally waterproof etc. Didn’t really want to replace them, especially knowing I’ll do the same to the new pair.
I got them from Amazon. They not only stop the squeak but are warm and In my (Other) leaky wellies keep my feet totally dry.
I’d say get a bigger size than you think if you want to wear over socks.

Great idea, are they breathable enough or is there a chance of sweatiness

Neoprene isn't completely waterproof? Especially if its thin enough to wear in your normal size boot. They would definitely keep your feet warm but they may get a bit sweaty but I don't think it would be cold and sweaty. Which ones did you buy? How think were they in mm? I can see it could be a good solution for cold slightly leaky welly boots

Apologies - you can get dry suit socks which are waterproof and quite thin 1.5mm. I have only dived in a wetsuit.

Drysuit socks...OThree and Fourth Element do good ones. I've dived in the UK for years, often in the North Sea and while I've had times where I couldn't move my fingers, my toes stayed toasty in those socks. And not sweaty either.

I got 2mm ones and they fit in my boots easily and more conveniently into my shoes that I drive in, handy!
They may not be totally waterproof I guess, I haven’t tried that out but they certainly kept my socks dry inside my leaky boot. I didn’t stand in water but even so usually get a big wet patch!
I haven’t had sweaty feet so far ?

I wear Sealskin socks in winter. Absolute game changer for riding out!

The way things are here i think I should just get a wetsuit to ride in ?

Now that could be a game changer. An equestrian wetsuit.....

I’ve got the gloves, love them as long as I’m not actually doing anything! I just find them really stiff!
