Would these work inside hiking boots for snowshoeing? Just want to keep my feet dry/warm. Thickness is the main question.

No they let water in and your body heat warms it up not good for keeping your feet dry

I do not think I would recommend them for boot inserts. I would look for some 100% lambswool socks; much like with UGGs I think the lambswool would keep your feet both warm and dry.

I would definitely not wear these in hiking boots. Your feet will sweat like you can't imagine then they will chill. I've worn neoprene gloves to work in very cold climates and the only time I didn't regret my decision was when I had to get my hands wet. The sweat ends up chilling my hands and the cold plus the chill makes things worse. Wicking liners and really nice thick wool based socks work best. I've augemented this with small heat packs and have been quite happy in -30F temps. I know they also make battery heated socks that work well.

These are 2 mm and you probably could wear them inside your boots but, I would opt for a really good pair of wool socks instead. I would think your feet would sweat while snowshoeing and I don't think these would be good. Why? Well your sweat would be trapped inside then chill you down. Wool would wick away the sweat while keeping you warm. good luck

They really do fit like a pair of relatively thick socks, however, it might be a little hard to get the hiking boots on over them.

I don't know. While they aren't as thick as most scuba or surfing booties, they are pretty darn thick to be used inside boots, unless the boots where a size too large.

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

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.

I used them in a wet (not frozen) environment and then had wool sock on under them...my feet got wet, really wet and cold but would have been colder without them.

I would just get a good pair of felt lined waterproof boots and wool socks. These socks are good for keeping your feet dry but they also make your feet sweat a bit. In a cold weather situation these socks would keep your feet dry, but they would also be frozen.

I think the boot shape might be an issue for these on snowboard boot. I have to still use chemical toe warmers but the combo is much more satisfactory that just the toe warmers alone. The boot glove is, for me, worthless with out the toe warmers, but with them I'm actually comfortable.

Yes...these are ski pants and fit over ski boots well. My boots were even pretty wide and they fit over just fine. They would work for snowboarding boots as well.

I wear the same size as you and ordered 11. They fit fine and would have accommodated some fairly thick socks. I returned them due to the inside circumference of the boot being too large to tighten when my insulated jeans were inside and the exterior circumference being too large to allow wearing my jeans outside. The apparent quality was impressive and I've no doubt they would have kept my feet warm in any weather condition...the insulation was incredibly thick. I realize I've commented on more than the question you asked but the question you asked suggested, to me, you had not been able to try these on in person. Hope this is helpful.

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.

Love these boots for winter kayaking. It fits snugly around my upper calf and I've had no problems with water getting in. I can comfortably wade out to get in my kayak and stay nice and dry. I also wear wool or CcolMax hiking socks with them. Hope this helps!

They are a bit thin. I recommend something thicker for things over 400 degrees. I suppose you could double up, but that could be very dangerous if they slip.

They are made of thick rubber, so yes. They will definitely keep your feet dry. But there is no lining in them. You'll need to add a liner or thick socks. I'd guess that if you won't be outside for very long that that would make a decent snow boot if you add liners and/or thick socks. If you are going to be outside for a longer period of time or live in extremely cold climates, then this is probably not the best choice for you.

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.

I tried with jeans is alright. Insulated pants will be quite tight. Btw the size indicated here is bigger den usual. I order US 10 ended return n change to US 9. Im wearing a US 10 north face hiking boots size. Hope this help

It depends on what you hike on. Hard pack in the ADK's they will work fine. Not make for deep unpacked snow.

Maybe...these aren't super strong but if you hang one on each end or one in the middle and use two hangers. Outdoor heavy snow boots...I would say no. Indoor dress boots...possibly.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.
