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 would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

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 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.

Dianna, They will keep the dogs' feet dry, but the boots are really nothing more than thick balloons. My dog had surgery on his paw, so these were the best choice for him, just to keep his foot dry and clean. They will keep the snow off their feet, but if you're looking for something more permanent, I'd go with a"real" pair of winter boots for your pup. Hope this info helps.

I'd say it would be about 50% thicker than your average pair of athletic socks, except on the bottom where I'd say it's about double the thickness and maybe even a little more. If you're concerned about shoe fit with these, if the shoe is snug in normal socks, it will be a mite tight. I've never had a problem with hiking boots or athletic shoes such as you might find in Merrell's or Keen's inventories. But I can't wear them with my cowboy boots.

no! These are great!!! Only problem is they have to much glue on them and they are wearing out my socks! But have to wear them in cold weather as my feet have been frost bit before. Not so much glue ,,, PLEASE!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

sorry, but I don't know about that. I use them to keep the snow out of my boots.

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.

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.

You might be better off going with a lighter cooler sock for summer, but a lot depends on how much your feet sweat. Everyone is different and sometimes these socks are perfect for summer hiking for some. Hope that helps!

You would do better if you placed your ski boots near a heater or fan....DampRid captures moisture in the air. Hope this helps !!
