Lets talk waterproof socks

[Ebender34]

Sealskinz were my last hope. I have tried several brands and none were even water resistant, let alone waterproof. Any suggestions?

I've never thought about waterproof socks before. I've always had a good waterproof boot (I use Zamberlans, but my friends use Kenetreks and Crispis and they have no complaints)

I use similar boots but with waders, if I have to cross a stream.

Wiggy's are a guys friend

I've done a lot of hiking in my time. I've tried 'waterproof' socks and in my personal experience my feet would sweat like a liberal on election day and that would promote blisters and really rank feet. I've found that good wool wool/blend socks like Smart Wool, plus my full upper Danner boots sealed with SnoSeal and tall gators work best. If I get wet above the calf I don't care. Usually my pants are NOT denim so they dry out quickly.
