Review: Santa brought these ...
I'd previously looked at seal skins and wasn't convinced how effective they would be as some people had reported still getting wet feet with them on.
I was experimenting with Wellies/gumboots/rubber boots/city fetish sex club boots - depending where you are in the world and what circles you move in. But I'll be using these for now instead.
Pattern wise, they look a bit like a 1970's rock album cover - but don't let that put you off.
They're cut, shaped and are foot specific (ie, one for each foot (L/R), not other body areas).
They feel a bit weird due to the triple layer construction, they remind me of some kind of packing, but I can't put my finger on what... They're stretchy and compliant, though slightly more rigid feeling than a normal sock (unless you don't wash your socks).
So, the relevant bits .. well, they've had three very very wet rides and about 100km's. I wore waterproof hiking boots, which, on each occasion needed pouring out at the end. They've done a few post ride dog walks too, they're comfortable and don't ruck up or anything.
The outside of the socks were, unsurprisingly, soaked - though they do say the outside is treated with a DWR to help repel water.
The insides.. my feet .. were .. amazingly ... DRY ! They didn't feel sweaty or clammy either. The description states that they're breathable, but that's not going to happen if they're actually submerged, as they are in a boot full of water ! So I guess the bamboo or wool (depending what part of the description you believe) helps reduce clamminess.
They've been washed three times on a cold synthetic wash (with boots and other gear) and have held up fine so far.
Size wise, I was between medium and large. Santa chose Large and they seem to fit perfectly.
The only reason they're a 9 and not a 10 is it would be nice to have a slightly longer version, but then I quite like longer socks.
