are these socks waterproof. Do they let water get in? I live in Panama and I need something that protects my feet from the downpours.

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

Water can get in if submerged. Feet stay dry if walking around on a wet surface.

I used them with chaco sandles for hiking in Hawaii on muddy trail. My feet stayed dry.

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

Your feet definitely get wet, they have grip on the bottom to prevent slip & falls only. Not waterproof

They are not waterproof. I do not use them in an irrigated area. Incidental water/rain does not seem to be a problem. I also bring them in during the late Fall and Winter months.

I found that they generally kept me dry. I used them for cold weather 'wave running' so water gets everywhere but with good socks these worked very well. I would recommend them as the best thing I have found.

Have had them outdoors, rain and shine, so yes, they are water resistant. The area where I use them are on the steps leading to the front entrance of our home and it is not covered area, so they get rained on and are exposed to water run-off.

Yes, water-resistant, sweat-resistant. They are NOT waterproof, so no swimming with these, but rain/sweat will not mess up controls. Best Regards,Mike Emberswww.acousticsounddesign.com888-224-3663

They may make waterproof ones. The ones I got were not. They are designed to keep dirt ect. on your shoes from getting into carpets and other flooring.

The soles are waterproof, however, the rest of the shoe is not. The portion on the top of the foot and the velcro will absorb moisture. That said, I wear these in the water all the time (hiking, canoeing, etc.). You just need to ensure you dry them properly and you won't have any problems.

No. They are designed to keep water out below top level of boots. The strap at the top will tighten to keep boots snug, not water tight.

They did not keep my feet warm in 45 degree water. I bought a pair for surfing and my feet were freezing. The seams are not glued so water moves through them freely. In my opinion, they must be for protective wear such as for diving in warm water.

your feet feel dry even when they are in water. I ran 6 miles in mud and water and did not have a sore or blister on my feet. You can't do that with cotton socks.

These are supposed to be water resistant. I went into a creek and I was sure the pants would be soaked, but it beaded right up and it was dry. I have never been in a downpour, but at some point I am sure these pants will become truly wet.

As far as I know they are waterproof. We live at 10,000 ft in the mountains of Colorado where our average humidity is between 8-10% so it's hard for.me to tell. But we have watched the elk on our property in a snow storm so........

Yes, but only if the water level doesn't rise about the top of the sock. I used these when snorkeling, so they were fully submerged as soon as I got in the water.

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

Not sure what you're asking, they are water shoes so your feet do get wet; however they do protect them and provide comfort with find on.

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 don't know about waterproof, I have worn them in the rain with no adverse effects however. They seem pretty durable. I would prefer if the cord was fabric or heavier and laid more flat, but that's my only complaint about them.
