Seal Skin socks

[johnh]

as I don't have a dry suit with built in waterproof socks I've just forked out on a pair of seal skin thermal socks to wear under my neoprene boots. The blurb that comes with the socks says they are 100% water proof. That's some claim. I'll write a review when I've tried them out.

I've had a pair for a couple of months, they are waterproof if you are walking around in them, unfortunately like all socks they have a large hole in the top of them so the water will always get inside? So far they have kept my feet warm but still wet.

Do you think that they wouls work inside the rubber feet of a dry suit?

Hi Johningham

We meet again! I had the ruber feet cut off my dry suit and (2 sizes to big) boots to replace them. So you could get some boots fitted here in New Milton. No more wet feet.

Dont waste your money , I bought two pairs of seal skin socks from blacks a few years ago,
I have never had dry feet when i have used them.
