SuMade Waterproof Socks, Men Women Knee High Hiking Kayaking Socks 1 Pair

I ordered these for my husband and me while we kayak in the cooler waters of our NH lake. We were walking in the water in bare feet which was unpleasant in the fall. We put these on and not only were they waterproof but they kept our feet warm while kayaking. My husband will use these during ice fishing season to keep his feet dry and warm in his boots. I am ordering more as Christmas gifts for my sons. A great find. Fit is as expected and snug.

I put these waterproof socks to the test yesterday in the rainy surf of a beach in Northern California. It was a cold and miserable day to hunt for sea glass but my feet stayed warm and dry inside my rubber boots. I wear a 6.5 shoe and 7 boot and these socks fit like a glove. I like how the foot is formed to create a pocket of air. I included "safe" in the title because the fabric is so thick and spongy, if any rocks tumbling in the surf hit my boot, there's an extra cushion to protect my feet. A friend recently broke her ankle when a wave pushed her into the rocks, so having support and protection is important to me. Along with this review, I'm advising other beach goers that waterproof socks are a thing - and they really make a difference!

They work well enough but be careful on the size you choose. I have small feet that are about 8.5 or 9 so I figured I would go with the small size. I'm using this to combat cold and keep water out as I deliver mail. Factor in wearing a pair of socks under these and you will want to go one size up if you come to close to the max size.They also don't keep my feet as warm as I would like and they're really hard to get off. I still use them everyday I can though as they do keep your feet dry.

These socks are a great, slightly more affordable entry into waterproof socks. They are warm, I'd estimate down to 20 degrees (F) once you're moving and shaking. Standing around will be a different story. High length traps a little more heat and makes its great to layer under thermal tights and weatherproof pants. Just make sure you put the socks on first, or you're gonna have a bad time.

Weather was cooperative enough to give new gear a shot on our 46mi loop of canoeing with dozens of portages. Waterproofing held, there was zero seepage from mud or sand, and no bite-through from thorns/sticks/ mosquitoes/ etc. They didn't slide down or bunch anywhere, so despite being a bit large for my feet I didn't develop any blistering or discomfort. They will swamp if you go over the top cuff, and though it can easily be poured out without even removing them, I'd recommend a second pair for a trip like the BWCA so the interior of the first can fully dry before the next day's use. A quick foot drag was enough to clean the exterior of mud too. And as a bonus, they still look like 'normal' hiking socks!Absolutely ecstatic with the performance. These socks+ amphibious hike shoes are my new go-to for a trip like this. No more wet wool socks on portages! I've already recc'ed to all of my adventure buddies and have a second pair saved in my list

My first time trying these kind of socks, Performed well for shallow river crossings where the water stays below the end of the sock. But for those who spend a little more time in the water fishing or etc, you'll find that your feet still get wet at the end of the day, but "not as wet."There is no insulation on these socks, So I would recommend buying one size larger so that you can fit a insulating layer underneath.When you're drying these in the dryer, I noticed the inside layer stays wet and you have to turn them inside out and run them through the dryer again.Over all they're okay, and I will continue to use them until I'm ready to try a different brand.Additionally, you may want to prep these type of socks with a anti-fungal powder as they don't allow for much moisture to escape or wick away.

I was skeptical about a waterproof sock but when you have wet feet in your kayak, it is not comfortable. These socks worked perfectly! My feet were dry and warm. It does help to wear a sock underneath so they are easy to get on and off and are warmer. They do not fit very well, they are big for my size 8. But an oversized water shoe fits over them. I recommend then for kayaking in cooler weather.

I bought these for fishing. Waders are overkill for small streams in the summer but sandals don't offer enough protection against cold or rocks. The challenge is to keep your feet warm and the rest of you cool. Wearing these under my wading boots is like having neoprene calf waders you can wear with shorts. They don't keep my feet bone dry but close enough and they are warm enough. Well worth the price of admission.
