buze Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I've decided not to wear wellies this year for my shoots in Wales, so I want to go full shooting socks, and leather stomping boots -- I know the keeper will appreciate the effort. However I'm a bit worried about staying all day in boots that aren't necessary terribly warm, nor terribly waterproof. I'm thinking perhaps to wear a pair of diving 0.5mm neoprene socks over the shooting sock, unless you guys know of an alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilksy II Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I have some army issue sealskin knee high socks they keep everything out, I’m nearly always in wellies but they are amazing, my mate filled one of his from the tap and it held it, just to prove there worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I have some cheap Ron Thompson ones from go outdoors they work great. You need loose boots as they take your feet up a size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motocross boots aren't waterproof but they held there own for 8 hours out without an issue and my feet were lovely and warm. One thing il say about neoprene is they wear out pretty quick (with everyday use that is) so get a couple of pairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
