would these be good for outside work in the ice,water..etc maybe to wear over socks to keep your feet dry & warm?

Used them under a sock for mail delivery prior to the pack boots required for a big snow. Very snug fit, seemed to wick water a bit although definately kept in the heat. Looking for bone dry maybe not the best product... Looking for a warm foot, will do a good job.

sorry, not sure. I only use it for paddleboarding in summer. I don't think good for work.

Yes, I am a Dairy Farm Inspector. I wear them for the exact reason, to keep my feet dry in the winter, from snow, ice and water. I cannot wear them in the summer, they get way to hot.

Neoprene works best when worn next to the skin..They will keep you warm but not dry..I use mine to wear with sandel or booties while kayaking in cooler weather and water

As long as your shoes/boots have space I wouldn't know why not. These socks are typically worn in cases where your feet will be in water (wading through rivers) for longer periods of time so wool socks over them in submerged water would provide little to no insulating value and would likely add weight to your feet with drenched socks.

waterproof boots would be a waste of money, tennis shoes or cheap pair of wading boots will work fine. Just need something to protest your soles.

No they wont. If they fit snugly (order a half size smaller), they may insulate your feet from water and the elements. But they wont keep your feet from getting wet.

No they are designed to be used over stocking foot waders. Unfortunately they aren't waterproof.

Sure, but your feet would get very cold. These are rubber rain boots and not lined.

No, they aren't waterproof, but they will repel snowmelt for a while. After walking my dogs, I lay the boots on the edge of the heating register to dry; they dry quickly. One pair usually lasts all winter, but the affordable price of these boots allows me to buy extra pairs. I like them the most for the ease of putting them on, but they are definitely not the boots to buy to walk in slush for any period of time.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

Absolutely, these are very light but still keep your legs very warm in cold temperatures...I wore them as a base layer in 20-60 degree weather.

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

I wore Feetures fitted socks under them. I would think wool over them might hold water in, but I'm not sure.

Patricia, you sure can. The best part about them is that they have the side zipper for easy on and off. Most wetsuit boots are just pull on and are a real pain. Understand though, that these are neoprene wetsuit material. They are thick and they do let the water in, as they are supposed to to help keep your feet warmer . The soles are nice and thick and "grippy" too. I have worn them on rocks , sand and slippery grass and they keep you pretty solidly on your feet.

These socks are tough to rate for activities like that. It will certainly keep your feet dry in terms of outside snow, but your feet will end up very wet due to sweat, as they do not breath at all. Think of it like wearing a wetsuit on your foot.

Hi I only just got these, so I can't really answer the question but they are made of rubber so my guess would be yes they would make your feet hot/warm like most rubber boots. I will wear these even in the summer if it is raining! It would depend on how you would use them during the summer months. Perhaps a good idea would be to wear a thin cotton sock liner (the ones that do not come up too high on the foot) in the boot.

They are a bit thicker than a normal sock. Wouldn't so much say they are great for for winter.

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.
