These are what is known as VBL socks (Vapor Barrier Liners) as they keep heat robbing sweat inside and away from your boot's insulation keeping your feet warm ALL day. You can also buy 4 mm thick diver's socks [I]if[/I] your boots have room for them. [I]No other socks (other than thin liners) needed as the closed cell neoprene is very warm[/I]. The liner socks are for comfort and to protect the inside o the divers' socks.
