I don't understand what these are useful for. They're waterproof so chances are your feet will sweat more and get moist anyway. And if you're wearing these inside non-waterproof shoes, the shoes will still get soaked and heavy and unpleasant.

anujayaI don't know about these socks, but back in the day (20+ years) I had a pair of waterproof socks, Cabela's branded I believe, and perhaps they were even Goretex. Anyway, they worked well as a conditional use item; cooler wet weather, hiking below the ridges through puddles and stream crossings where total submersion is avoided (rock hopping) or very brief, and for short periods of time - maybe 3-4 hours max. They kept my feet far drier than they would have been, and ventilated hiking boots purge themselves of excessive water rapidly while on the move, giving the socks a bit of a chance to breath. Once or twice I thought I felt a leak but upon removing the socks I saw that wasn't the case. These socks, if they are of good quality, should work for the right individual under the right circumstances, but I don't think anyone will want to stand in water all day in these or any other sock. Nowadays I prefer sandals, with or without socks, for the same conditions I described above.

anujayaI personally wouldn't use these to hike in. What they are very useful for is camp footwear if you dont want to bring along a pair of camp shoes.
They are also useful if you are forced to put on a pair of soaking wet boots. Even though you might sweat depending on the circumstances, its better than having a wet foot all day.

anujayaI actually would be interested in them so I could wear them with my cleats while playing in snow. Right now most people that I play with layer a plastic shopping bag over their socks and wear those in their cleats.
