Stu Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just seen these advertised I'm sure someone may benefit from them! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XVX5GGY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1492527292&sr=8-1&keywords=arcticdry&th=1&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=arct0a-21&linkId=60fc114113340581eb2ba8922e518ac9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwen Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 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.

raesewell Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I bought some Sealskinz a few years ago but since I got my Altberg boots I haven't worn them. If your boots are not completely waterproof they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have replaced my motorbike socks with cheapo football socks. Just as comfortable and if they get wet they dry very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigralphie Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Sealskinz are great but in winter they make your feet bloody cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raesewell Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I don't remember having cold feet when I wore Sealskinz, but it was a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I've got some SealSkinz socks......but I'm hoping that I won't need them anymore, with my new boots..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 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.

I will probably have trouble sleeping now.Hope you slept ok 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
