Review on Men Women Waterproof Knee High Hiking Kayaking Socks 1 Pair - SuMade by Andy Thorson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BWCA approved in my review

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

Pros
  • Can be worn in any weather, no matter the season
Cons
  • The socks may be too tight for individuals with larger calves.
