do these absorb water? Thinking of placing them in my mud run shoes, don't want them being all soggy the whole time.

I have them in work boots. Can't tell how absorbance they would be. Not plastic or rubber like.

They may retain a small amount of water. The arch is solid and the gel parts won't but the sole on top where your foot rests may. I never had a problem with them retaining sweat after a very long mountain run and in 105+ heat I sweat heavy haha. Hope that helps.

These will be perfect! They absorb both oil and water. You can lay them on the floor and as water touches the skin it will be wicked up into the sock.

I wear them over my dry suit socks.They work OK for that, water gets trapped in them because of the soles. This I only notice when walking out of the water.

Yes, you can get them wet but I don't know how much longer they would last or why you would wear them under water? I use them each summer on our deck with the family and they are the best. After use seal them in a plastic zip bag, and they are ready for the next day!

depends on what you mean by dry. One persons opinion on something may not be the same for somone else.my opinion, they are not soaking wet. They are like the towelettes you would find at a KFC to wash your finger tips.BTW .... these wipes work great at keeping your glasses from fogging up.I hope this answers your question.

Mine aren't so I don't wear them in bad weather. I think it's better that they 'breathe'. Waterproofing them could make them smell bad because your feet would sweat with nowhere for the moisture to go.

No, unfortunately, due, I think to you skins moisture; but if you apply them well they last all day and I have even gone swimming in them. One time I slept in them and was able to continue wearing them the next day. Of course I had just bathed and was clean but had a morning occasion where I needed them again, so that was amazing to me. In other words they are pretty durable and lasting.

No. They are highly absorbent after a good washing, but they are definitely not waterproof.

I had them for a couple months but I never really got them wet. They are sweat resistant

They absorb the urine really well. They don't take very long to dry. I have two that I rotate every few days. They have washed and held up well.

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

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

I wash mine off with a hose and brush when they get muddy and I'm wearing them and they don't soak through doing that.

I just wipe them off. I have never soaked them, but they should be ok to soak, I have just never had the need to.

I haven't had that problem because I always wear socks and don't get mud over the sides if I can help it. So far, I haven't had mud or water spill over. If I think that might happen, I wear another type of boot or I can avoid the problems areas in the fields. I would think these are just for casual yard wear...something that you don't get your regular shoes wet.

I am not sure if they would work or not. Depends how muddy it is. I keep them at my back door when I am gardening and if I need to come into the house I put them over my garden shoes. Love them

Your feet definitely get wet, they have grip on the bottom to prevent slip & falls only. Not waterproof
