Daryk Campbell Sr Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I am interested in these, but want to know if they stretch. I have a water retention problem, and my feet and ankles are much larger than average. Also, how is their effectiveness if submerged? Are they like neoprene, creating almost a seal?

jdmidwest Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The ones I used before I purchased Gore Tex boots would keep your feet dry to the top of the sock. If you go over, in comes the water. Same way with boots. What are you trying to do with them? "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Primarily I need to protect my feet from dirty water. I am prone to infections from all kinds of bacteria. I have a rare condition, lymphedema of the lower extremities. Any extra protection while fishing is valuable.

jdmidwest Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Depending on how deep of water you are in, I would stick with Muck boots or waders. I have had Seal Skinz in the past, but like goretex gloves, they let water in eventually.

JestersHK Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Daryk I have some Orvis booties that I use while wet wading the creeks with my wading boots. They keep the sand and muck out of my feet, but if you go in over the top they will allow water in. I usually just submerge my feet from the get go and get it over with...

Quillback Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 see these for sale at BPS, they have several different varieties, but I like these being knee length. Haven't tried them myself, but I wear rubber boots to launch my boat in the winter, and have a pinhole leak in them, if these socks work as advertised that would be nice. $40 price tag scares me a little. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/sealskinz-lightweight-knee-length-waterproof-socks Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
