Are these absorbent? Can I wear these in a dress shoe without my feet staying damp all day?

My feet don't sweat so I might not have the info you want. I haven't had a heat problem with them or absorbing, they just take up so much room most my shoes wouldn't fit me and the insert too. The slip on shoes that are a bit big for me I wear them in and they are very comfortable. Don't think they would work in heels, pretty stiff.

I wear these in work boots and my feet stay dry. However, I do wear thorlo cusioned socks as well.

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.

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

I don't wear them with dress shoes, so I can't really say. I wear them with tennis shoes and the inserts stay dry.

They seem to be washable if you must do it but this will probably reduce their durability. They didn't last very long for me, since I kept them on my feet for days on end. They lasted maybe a few weeks or so. If you use them for like an hour a day they should last much longer.

These are a more absorbent and better fitting style of depends. My grandmother or these through the night without leaks and she found them very comfortable. They are disposable, one time use and you do not wear a pad with them.

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.

I have the same exact situation as you, and at first they used to slip a bit, but soon the top layer becomes more grippy and now I don't have any issues. I think washing it helped in my case. There might be some smoothing agent or shine agent applied to them that washes off and then they are a bit more usable with dress shoes.

I am not sure...but the socks are "fuzzy" inside and i would think they'd absorb sweat. I LOVE mine and have ordered many pairs for my loved ones....good luck!

Absolutely! They are soft...do not hurt your feet...but solid...they stay in place. They are smooth...do not get "hot". Enjoy!

Not sure about sweat, but a bath or a shower will loosen them. The package says not to get them wet. Good luck.

Yes. My husband wears them under a leather pair of gloves. The moisture is wicked from the skin, but still exists under the leather. Hope this helps.

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

These socks do dry very fast. They are fantastic. I wear them with boat shoes for sailing and also for jogging and working out. They are comfortable and always keep my feet dry. Will they dry overnight? Probably, but I guess that depends if you hang them and where you hang them. In a warm, low humidity environment with decent air flow, they should dry overnight.

I used them with chaco sandles for hiking in Hawaii on muddy trail. My feet stayed dry.

Yes, they are breathable and waterproof. My husband uses them and showers with them and they hold up really well.

They will absorb moisture although I don't know if it would help odor or not. We use them to keep scuba dive boots dry when stored and it keeps them from getting mildew smell.

I only handwashed them once and then put in baby powder like it said in the instructions. They did not work for me because the only part of my body that sweats is my feet!! Good luck!! I have used Heeltastic and did like that with a golf sock, but I just can't stay on a rigid scedule right now, so just use it every time I get a chance!!

I tried wearing mine under my dress socks. Problem was the front kept rolling up under my foot making it uncomfortable to wear. I haven't tried them over the sock. I imagine they would still roll up when placing foot in shoes.

No I don't think so. Damp Rid absorbs water from the air not from objects and it is a slow process. They last about three months where I am (Florida) before the bottom of them is completely filled with water.I would suggest turning your boots on their side near a portable electric heater.
