Waterproof socks


Recommended Posts

Waterproof socks are fantastic things. However be wary of "non breathable" ones. Otherwise your feet will simply get wet from sweat that cannot evaporate/wick away. Sealskinz are a very good brand, however they are expensive.


They are very useful for boots that are either not waterproof, or they are waterproof, but the water can still seep through or come over the tongue of the boot.

I've never really thought about "dedicated" bike socks. I just wear what ever I pull out the drawer. (Literally, I rarely have matching socks on! )

Only time I really think about socks is if I'm wearing my five finger shoes, or I'm going out hill walking all day.

Today's socks:

That is all levels of wrong. I will probably have trouble sleeping now.

Hope you slept ok :-P


It is amazing how many people feel weird/uncomfortable knowing someone else has odd socks on. I never realised this untill I started commuting by bike, and changing shoes at my desk!


And yes, Vibram five finger shoes. Super comfy once you get used to them :-) Wearing them helps strengthen my dodgy ligaments/tendons in my right ankle.
