Are these socks waterproof? I am considering gluing them onto a drysuit. Thanks.

That might work I can say the 5.0 are much warmer than the 2.0 ones. I wear them with a Shorty & sometimes with a long wetsuit. Other times when I wear them with a long one if I put the wetsuit over the booty it's a lot drier. There are still a few drops in there though after I do that.

They are.............but since they are neoprene and have sewed seams, they won't last long. Personally, having owned three drysuits and multiple wetsuits, I wouldn't do that.

I use them with a drysuit when kayaking with cuffs over and cinched. They are not dry but limited leakage When immersed when entering or exiting boat. Constant and prolonged immersion may pose a problem.

I have had them mounted since July 4th on the outside of my vehilce. No issues and its been a wet summer here, they are sealed, so I would say that they are waterproof.

I agree with M.Giese. Do not submerge them. I do think they are very water resistant. Very heavy rain. They could be made pretty much water proof with very little effort

Love these boots for winter kayaking. It fits snugly around my upper calf and I've had no problems with water getting in. I can comfortably wade out to get in my kayak and stay nice and dry. I also wear wool or CcolMax hiking socks with them. Hope this helps!

They are durable, but I would not get them wet. It would be uncomfortable for your dog to wear wet socks.

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. :)

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

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.

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.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.

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.

No, these are not dry boots, they are very porous and your feet will be just as wet in these boots as they would be without them. They are simply thin aqua socks that fit very nicely into just about any open heel swim fins.

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

Hi Ken: I'm not a surfer, but they were very skid resistant when walking on wet decks and metal plates when we were on small boats. They do get a little getting-used-to with the water sloshing around your feet inside the boot, but they were very comfortable to wear. Randy

They are totally waterproof, and I have used them both ways. Hope this helps.

No they are designed to be used over stocking foot waders. Unfortunately they aren't waterproof.

Yes they are waterproof. They have a heavy backing that keeps furniture completely dry. Very good quality.
