RANDY SUN Waterproof Socks, Unisex Hiking Wading Trail Running Kayaking Crew Socks

Really comfortable and good grip and warmth. Their size chart is not correct on Amazon they should fix the size chart.

I was worried these XS socks would be too big, but they are just small enough. If they were any bigger they would be too big. (In regular shoes, I’m size 6, running shoes or boots I’m size 7, sometimes in dress shoes I’ll be as low as 5.5. If your feet are smaller than mine, I’d recommend going down to the children’s version that this company sells.) I have always lived places where it either does not rain much or doesn’t rain hard, so I’ve never thought it was a big deal to just run with regular gear and maybe throw a rain shell over top. Every once in along while there would be a big storm and I’d get soaked to the bone, but no big deal. However, now I’m somewhere where when it rains it really rains and if I run in the rain, I’m going to get soaked. So, I’ve done that a bunch of times this year and done with it. I can’t wait to try these out on a run. Just testing them out so far, I can tell they won’t breathe well, but if they did, I’d be worried about their rainproof-ness LOL. If I have a choice between hot feet or soaked and freezing feet, I’d take the former. I’m a trail runner, so can’t wait to go splashing through puddles! If the socks do not live up to my expectations, I’ll update the review. By the way, I’m very picky with sock seams and not getting blisters, especially when it comes to running, and I think these seem like they’re going to be comfortable in that way. They are more bulky than my regular running socks, but I wear the ultrathin socks without padded toes or heels. I would say that the thickness is on par or thinner than the running socks I’ve tried on that have are padded. I tried these on with my running shoes and the shoes are more snug, but not to the point of needing to go up to the next shoe size or squishing my toes or feet. I chose these socks over a shorter pair of waterproof socks (both brands recommended by a runners world article) just because the shorter ones will not stop rain from going down inside the sock. These are waterproof and snug over the ankle, so I’m confident they will be great. I also love the bright yellow color for street running to make me more visible. Sorry for the ramble - I’m just really excited to try these out and wanted to make sure I addressed all of the comments other people have made and the questions I had before i bought them :)

I dont write a lot of reviews but wanted to give credit here. I'm in Minnesota and didn't want to buy new Gore-Tex shoes, so I decided to keep the non-GTX SpeedGoats I've been trail running in all summer and just try buying these socks instead. Over the weekend, I went snowshoe running and the temps were 0-2f, with wind-chills even lower. It was seriously cold. My eyelashes and beard went full on icy. I brought toe warmers but didn't even use them. My feet were completely dry and warm the entire time I was out. I didn't even double up socks or anything - just these and then my running shoes, for an hour, snowshoe running on powdery trails. Snow was buried in my shoes but these socks really pulled their weight and I plan to continue using them all winter. If they wear out, which i dont see happening given the "feel" of their quality, I can buy several more pairs and still have it be cheaper than buying new gtx shoes. I dont know if they would be great ice fishing or anything where your not staying active (maybe they would, I just haven't tested it), but so long as your working, I can vouch for their warmth. They are every bit as warm as heavy wool socks.

First, these are NOT waterproof. However, they do keep the sand and rocks out and do get damp when submersed in water. Used these socks while kayaking and so do step into the water with them. My feet did get damp but not immediately and was happy to not have to feel sand and small rocks around my feet.

These fit my foot perfectly like a glove. I used a ruler to measure my foot and a pair of regular socks before deciding what size to buy. That's probably the best way to do it because these socks are not stretchy, so you'll want to get the size that's the same length as your foot. I plan to wear these socks with sandals when it's raining. I will also wear these with regular shoes while boating in wet and cold conditions as a comfortable substitute for rubber boots. I'm very excited to try them out!

I won't know how they do until I use them in April rock hounding at the coast. They look well made and feel comfortable, hoping they keep my feet dry!
