Review on Men Women Waterproof Knee High Hiking Kayaking Socks 1 Pair - SuMade by Eric Beck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Actually is waterproof

So I had skepticism about a sock that is waterproof. And after wearing them and splashing through a river or two, here are my impressions.It feels like your feet are wet, but it's just the cold of the body of water you are walking through. After doing a long hike, my shoes were completely soaked. But my feet were dry.These socks are tight, like compression socks. They are also very cold, they don't keep your feet very warm. So, I put socks on underneath the compression socks. That helped a little bit on the cold feet situation. But after my hike, I found that my sock bottoms were wet with sweat. The top of my socks though were dry. So it's definitely sweat and not water seeping through.Washing. Machine washed them, and they wash fine, but hold water like no other. It took 2 days to dry them out. And hanging the socks toes up, you have to wring the top of the socks off a few times, as a bunch of water will just accumulate there.Overall. These are great socks for hiking, especially if you are going to get your feet wet.

Pros
  • Affordable: Fantastic quality for an unbeatable price
Cons
  • The socks may be awkward to wear under certain types of shoes.
