Are these socks waterproof? I am considering gluing them onto a drysuit. Thanks.

That might work I can say the 5.0 are much warmer than the 2.0 ones. I wear them with a Shorty & sometimes with a long wetsuit. Other times when I wear them with a long one if I put the wetsuit over the booty it's a lot drier. There are still a few drops in there though after I do that.

They are.............but since they are neoprene and have sewed seams, they won't last long. Personally, having owned three drysuits and multiple wetsuits, I wouldn't do that.

I use them with a drysuit when kayaking with cuffs over and cinched. They are not dry but limited leakage When immersed when entering or exiting boat. Constant and prolonged immersion may pose a problem.

I wear mine outside all the time, usually on short trips like to the mailbox. I've worn them in rain and snow, but I've always avoided puddles and slush. Dry snow and light rain were never a problem. I never really gave them a torture test, but they are water-resistant in any case. I doubt that they are water-proof.

nope, they are like a wetsuit. they were very effective at keeping my feet warm when I was rafting the grand canyon... 40 degree water on the feet is very uncomfortable, but with these on its not bad at all

No these are not waterproof. They are made out of a light weight wood. So far they have held up very well.

I have only used them in snow, but I believe they are watertight. The rubbery outer covering seems to completely cover the glove.

No they're not waterproof. Your feet will get wet if it's raining any harder than a light down pour.

They are fairly waterproof, but I was only using them to keep a surgical wound dry in the shower. A lot of movement, such as swimming, would probably cause it to loosen. Hope this helps.

I have not tried wool socks. Sorry , I can't help out on the subject. But they do keep my feet the warmest of all my winter socks, including ski specific sock that I have.

No they are not water tight. You want to get yourself some Muck boots for that my friend.

Not sure, i haven't tried them in water. I think they are water resistant not water proof..

they are not waterproof but the moisture doesn't soak through quickly if subjected to some water. i haven't submerged them in anything so i can't speak to that..

They may be water resistant but definitely not waterproof. I've ridden with these in snow and rain.

Hi Ken: I'm not a surfer, but they were very skid resistant when walking on wet decks and metal plates when we were on small boats. They do get a little getting-used-to with the water sloshing around your feet inside the boot, but they were very comfortable to wear. Randy

I'm not a scuba diver but I can tell you that I wore these while volunteering for Ironman CDA where the water temp was 63 degrees! I spent almost 4 hours in the water and can say that my feet kept perfectly warm. The socks are pretty true to size. Hope this helps!

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.
