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

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.

I guess the size 7 because i think the ones your seeing are for men? I believe mens sizing is bigger than lady's so the 7 will do just fine with some nice wool socks in cold water...Good Luck

Dicey. I use them to keep my feet warm while kayaking in cold weather. The bottom is a soft diamond pattern of the same material as the sock. I noticed the other day that the diamond pattern around the ball of my foot (where it pushes on the foot brace) was starting to wear. I've since attached moleskin to the foot brace so I'm not pushing against the hard plastic. Sand is pretty abrasive. I believe neoprene boots have a hard sole; those might work better on sand. Hope you find something that works for you.

These are best in dry conditions though some snow conditions will work. Can soak thru. Especially good at protecting paws from city salt.

Yes. They would be fine for this but I would recommend wearing long socks for a cushion. They are quite comfortable but for hiking they may tend to chafe a bit. I have worn them all day doing work in the yard with no problems but I was glad to take them off at the end of the day.

The stabilizers do a great job on ice and snow. When you wear them in on a hard floor you might keep in mind that you can slip.

They will help keep moisture out but there is not a water tight seal between the shoe and gaitor. If you stay in standing water, you will get wet. Running through wet grass, brush or even puddles, it will help keep the water out.

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

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.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

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

If you remain aware of your surroundings, then yes! On smooth surfaces without snow or ice your feet could become unstable. They are so easily removed & reinstalled it really shouldn't be necessary to keep them on, although I have worn them numerous times in grocery stores, etc. without difficulty.

No; this booty is strictly for warming the feet. You wear them over socks or bare feet. Most folks use put them on after spending a cold day outdoors. You can wear them outside but I wouldn't substitute them for good boots.

I suppose that would depend on what kind of conditions you're skiing in. I've only skied here in Michigan, and I would be sweating in these. I would put these on the low end of "low to medium activity." Great for outdoor work like cutting wood where you're not really moving around a lot.

They breath a little to well for weather below 60. Below 40 and you wear them under your uniform pants ;-). But Yes you could wear them outside inthe winter. They do not repel water and It would be a poor choice, but you migth be one of those people who run hot.

yes, as long as it is not too wet or slushy. feet stay warm and toasty and covered, but NOT water proof.
