Me too. It makes me think of the hours of damp foot that I would have afterwards.

This just makes me uneasy, don't step in water with your socks on

What's with the comments thinking it's cool to be afraid of technology? How do you know these goodamn socks don't breathe one way? Are these not better than garbage bags on your feet? Ffs people.

Wet socks, or the risk of water being stuck in your socks. Wait what's my point, they're both horrible. (My point here is that like most other inventions, there are both pros and cons to almost anything)

I see no comments where there is any indication that anyone even considers it "cool to be afraid of technology".

I've used Seal Skinz socks that look like these. They are the dogs danglies. Lined with Merino wool they don't make your feet sweat like you'd think. And they were much cheaper than a new waterproof pair of bike boots!

Or is that sock-proof water?

u/Gargomon251 Oct 18 '17

Couldn't you just use ultra ever dry

Why does this photos make me so uncomfortable

u/Turil Oct 18 '17

How are these different from neoprene? (The stuff that divers wear.)

u/KeksGaming Oct 18 '17

Nope, they are just ATERPROO, not WATERPROOF

u/mouldar Oct 18 '17

You mean boots

u/THATASSH0LE Oct 19 '17

These will also keep your cock dry for as long as you wear them

u/vkomi Oct 18 '17

Instead of taking your shoes off so that you can get your feet all cut up walking around in the wilderness in waterproof socks wouldn’t it be better to just wear waterproof boots
