Have these insoles been tested as in if my boot developes a leak, does water short them out and ruin them ??

Sorry, that hasn't happen to us, so we don't know. We do know my husband loves them. They work great. He has no feeling in his one leg and foot, so he doesn't know if the foot is cold or not. With these insoles he dosn't have to worry about frost bite. He can stay outside longer and still be safe.

I have been wearing these now for about 4 months now. They were fine at first (although this was also in the middle of the winter). In terms of rain or snow, they would occasionally get a little wet and I would put them out to try. In terms of sweat...they were fine during winter. However, when summer hit (and I would occasionally wear these without socks), my feet would sweat very badly, the insoles would stay damp, and both my shoes and the insole would smell terrible. I recently researched a couple of ways to try to clean these so I'm going to give this a try because otherwise, I love these. If not, I may have to buy another pair.

Hello Nancy, No, these booties are not waterproof. Try an item from Uline: S-1048, they are waterproof. Maybe Amazon can get you a good price on these. Take care. L.W.

Yes (although I ordered them and they both leak, the company wouldn't let me return them.) I would go with another company.

I have had success with leather boots that had a single "shot" of cat urine. I can't comment on "soaked" shoes. If the only other choice is to throw the shoes away, I would try Rocco & Roxie and maintain the shoes shape with scrunched up newspaper.

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.

Yes, get the 10. There is no insulation in the boot or the pants. The pair I got developed a leak where the boot meets the pant leg after about 8 days total out in the water. My brother also got a pair that leak as well after about the same amount of time. I had to take a picture of the destroyed waders and send it along with a copy of the invoice from Amazon and they sent me a new more expensive pair (Pipestone) as a replacement because they were aout of stock withthe Macenzie. If you can afford it get a better pair.

I haven't left them out in rain, they are not waterproof that I can tell. However they dry pretty quick after sat on with wet bathing suits.

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.

I'm not sure. I dried mine and they seem to be ok, but I've only worn them once.

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.

No problems with moisture as all. I live in Canada though and I had alot of problems with ice so I just take them off for the winter. Waters no problem though, it just blows out as soon as you let them rip

I bought the men's hoping for more comfort and they leaked at the nose for me. I would check return policy at least before trying!

I have the steam beach/white combination and haven't had any issues with wet shoes causing problems (and I'm in WI where we have lots of sludgy, sloppy snow).

Not really sure.I would think that sand would get in them and be uncomfortable but they do sloe pretty tight. They hold water i know that and your feet do get a little water logged i assume the same with sand minus the water log.

Yes, They are anti-skid and they do not leak when worn over wet or dirty shoes.
