Waterproof socks.

Anyone got any recommendations please? This winter is the gift that keeps on giving!

Sealskinz for proper socks.

I use 2mm wetsuit socks/feet, you need roomy wellies but they're brill and last forever.

 

[Petalpoos]

Sealskinz. Brilliant but, as above, you would need new wellies so you may as well just buy wellies that don’t leak

How breathable are they? I feel like I'd end up with really stinky feet

Have they improved over the years. I bought some sealskinz long ago and they were horribly uncomfortable to wear

 

[pistolpete]

Ordered some sealskinz will report back!

I have these which have a decent width (I wear barefoot/anatomical shoes) and they're pretty good. I can't see that anything waterproof is going to be super comfortable and I far prefer waterproof footwear for sure.

I have some Sealskinz but actually dont think they are as good as they used to be. I find them a bit uncomfortable, like wearing a loose sack on my feet.

SillyPrune was promoting a different brand a few months ago which I will try eventually.

I have had a few pairs of Sealskinz, but now prefer the ottershell ones.

They’ve arrived. Fit well. Fingers crossed they’ll do the job.

They look better than my long ago seals sealskinz which were basically olive semi permeable membrane. Wonder if I still have them somewhere

I like my long seal skins better than my short ones as they are more sock like and less crinkly I think they are different generations. I have forded a river in mine and can attest to the waterproofness. I dont wear in the summer but I dont get sweaty feet in them in the winter.
