are these socks waterproof. Do they let water get in? I live in Panama and I need something that protects my feet from the downpours.

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

Water can get in if submerged. Feet stay dry if walking around on a wet surface.

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

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

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

Not at all water-resistant. If you step in a puddle you're in trouble. I wear them outdoors, to the store, and in the house barefoot. Get them extra big so you can step in and out of them easily. When I'm outdoors I am very careful about water. You can walk on a wet sidewalk, but you cannot step in a puddle. I would not wear them outdoors in heavy rain.

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.

They are made for tropical locals that see a great deal of rain, so this shouldn't harm it. Also, they dry quickly, so after a few hours, they are dry! Love mine!

Resistant yes , if want waterproof I would suggest Rain covers. The packs are made of a material that has a water proof coating on the inside but will probably leak at the seams and zippers in a downpour.

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 not waterproof. I do not use them in an irrigated area. Incidental water/rain does not seem to be a problem. I also bring them in during the late Fall and Winter months.

No. They are designed to keep water out below top level of boots. The strap at the top will tighten to keep boots snug, not water tight.

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.

These are pretty decent Cordua nylon. What denier I am not sure...I peddled in a lashing rain storm for a brief period and my gear stayed dry...I would believe that the packs are pretty good at repelling water, but if subjected to constant daily rolling down a wet road, rainy conditions your gear will eventually get wet. Easy fix is to purchase a pair of water proof covers that will reject any wet for long periods or long trips where keeping gear dry is essential.

Not sure because I have never dropped them in the water or had them in the rain, however I do believe they would be waterproof by the way they are made. Sorry I could be of know more help to you in this matter.Regards,Terry L. Shook

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

Have had them outdoors, rain and shine, so yes, they are water resistant. The area where I use them are on the steps leading to the front entrance of our home and it is not covered area, so they get rained on and are exposed to water run-off.

I've bought about a dozen of them for my back yard... I live in miami and i just had one good bad 2 weeks ago with not a lot of rain fall for the last couple of months. I would say they seem to be water resistant. But non the less happy with the product.

They have a rubber feel to them so I would imagine that they would be water proof, I wipe them down but I do not submerge them in water.

Not sure what you're asking, they are water shoes so your feet do get wet; however they do protect them and provide comfort with find on.

I wouldn't consider them water resistant but would consider the Tango Thong very water tolerable. In wearing mine, they sometimes get wet but always dry without drawbacks like shrinkage or staining. When my Tango Thongs need cleaning due to perspiration or just plan dirt I float them upside down in the swimming pool for a day and then let them air dry in the sun. I hope this answer helps and if you're on the fence about getting a pair of these, go ahead and get them. They are the best and most versatile flops out there. Jimmy
