Waterproof Socks?

[Joel1316]

My rubber boots took a beating this weekend and are now leaking....

In the Summer, I just wear sneakers into the river. Its more comfortable and durable, but its cold right now!

Are there waterproof socks that are thin enough to wear in sneakers and can (somewhat) keep the water out?

I haven't used these myself, but some people wear them while backpacking/hiking and wear sandals. Black SealSkinz

Looks like what I am looking for... But WOW! $46.00...

New boots at Atwoods only about $15.00.You could just put some heavy plastic bags over your feet I use to do this when I had a cast and just had to get in the creek.

I have got the longest use out of my cheap rubber tractor supply boots. I have gone through 6 pairs of waders, but still using the cheap rubbet boots from tractor supply in that same time frame. I just wish they were higher so I could use them in deeper water then 8 inches or so.

SealSkinz are really great...we used to get them issued to us when I was still active. Miss getting free gear......lol

You could just wear wool or ski socks since they stay warm even when wet...that's what I do cause I'm such a cheap sob.

Also you can reseal your boots or waders with the liquid plastic they sell at the HW store for use coating tool handles. I use the spray on variety and put a couple layers on any cracks in my waders, works great.

I wear knee high gum boots and when they get wet, they get wet. I pour out the water and keep on digging. As long as there are no rocks in there I'm fine with the water. I always bring dry shoes to hike out in.

Thanks for all the tips and trick all, very much appreciated.

I think I might actually get stocking foot waders and wear work boots.... We shall see what the wallets say...

when needed a couple empty bread sacks worked for me . over the socks and then put your boots on .

I broke down and spent a little more than I wanted to, but not bad. Got some Cabelas Stockingfoot Hip Waders. I can wear my own boots and hopefully the waders will last a while and keep my foot warm and dry.
