white van man Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 As my two year old Harkila boots are rubbish and leak and I don't want to buy new ones at the moment, I wondered if sealskinz socks are the answer. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiffy Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 i used them about 15 years ago when mountain biking and they where brilliant, i would have thought if anything they would have improved and be even better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 We used to put plastic bags over our socks in Winter as a extra warming layer in our wellies. Don't know if that would help, but it does keep your feet toasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewsher500 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 i use them with a trusty pair of boots for exactly that reason! I wear them with pair of sock underneath despite what they recommend even with the merino lining they feel sweaty if I dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white van man Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi Bewsher This looks like a good idea. Do you use the lightweight ones and lightweight thermal socks. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewsher500 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 forget what they are high calf, fairly thick, green and black I just wear some cotton or wool socks under, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I use them when mountain biking in the rain. Fantastic bit of kit ATB 425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman91 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have a pair and find they are good at keeping water out however I wouldn't recommend walking too far as they can bunch up and rub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Too hot for my feet, even the thin ones, if walking but incredible bits of kit and much cheaper than new boots, put them on to go to work last year by mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nderfel Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I use them in my dry suit for diving and in my boots when the ground is soaking. I wear thin so is underneath and they do the job perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white van man Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's great guys. I'm going to go thin with a thin thermal sock. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
