If you’re hiking, trail running or doing other outdoor activities that involve getting your feet wet, a pair of waterproof socks is an essential piece of gear. The best waterproof socks feature three bonded layers that help keep water out and allow moisture vapor from your sweat to escape. They also offer more breathability than traditional wool or cotton socks so you don’t get overheated and have to stop hiking.
Is it good to wear wet socks to bed?
Most waterproof socks men have a sturdy outer layer made from materials like nylon, followed by a layer of waterproof membrane and a soft inner merino wool that stretches to your calves. That merino wool helps keep your feet warm and dry by reacting to your body heat. If you’re planning to hike in extremely cold conditions, a thicker, insulated pair may be better because it can retain your own body heat more effectively and stay warm when wet.
A good pair of waterproof socks should be comfortable, durable and sell at a reasonable price. They should also be easy to care for, as most need to be hand-washed because putting them in a regular machine cycle can ruin their waterproof membrane.
The best waterproof socks for women balance warmth, comfort and breathability to protect your feet from wet conditions. The Layeba Waterproof Socks are a great option for that, featuring the hallmark three-layer waterproof construction with a nylon blend exterior and Coolmax inner lining and a protective outer layer of Gore Tex. These socks also fit well with a wide range of shoe sizes and are very durable so you can wear them all year round, whether you’re just stepping into puddles or hiking in rain.
