Are these socks waterproof?

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.

They aren't totally waterproof, but your feet are definitely less wet and warmer.

The whole idea behind neoprene is that the thin layer of water between your body and the neoprene is what keeps you warm. Ask anyone that surfs.

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

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

No ! These are not water proof. On a hard surface floor they can really move.

They are actually waterproof. I am not sure why the description says waterproof effect.

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

i wouldn't say waterproof but things didn't seep through. i bought them because i kept spilling water so it created a nice barrier.

Yep. I got these for running, so the interior socks were soaked in sweat. So even though my feet did not get wet from the snow, they were wet from sweat and just as cold because the air and ground was cold. If you are not working out too hard, interior socks might add warmth. These socks are not warm like wool, just water proof. :)

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.

Hello,Good question! Didn't test this out - but don't think they are waterproof per se. They are like a 'handi-wipe' sort of material. Good for keeping dirt on shoes contained. Hope this helps.

I have not personally used them while swimming but they are rated as waterproof, so yes.

I bought these gloves as a gift & my friend loves them. I don't know anything about the gloves being waterproof or not.

Neoprene is technically waterproof, but generally the socks are used for insulation purposes. I wore these inside canyon shoes to hike up the river cut canyons of Zion national park in Utah. (Amazing experience!!) I was walking directly in the river in early November and water temperature was quite cold - if I recall it was in the 50's fahrenheit. The shoes are designed to let water in and out so my feed did get wet. But they remained warm and I had no issues with the cold. I hope that helps..

So far mine have been waterproof. I've worn them through thick mud and puddles with no problem. They've were very useful at the dog park this past Spring.

No, they are a knit material and water will penetrate. You shouldn't have wet hands, either.

Yes they're completely waterproof ours have protected even under 8 inches of snow. However after a few seasons they do begin to crack and you need to replace them.

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.)

i don't think so. it doesn't mention that they're waterproof nor does it look like they are either.
