Waterproof Breathable Socks £12.99 in store @ Aldi

These good?

Comes in sizes 3-5, 6-8, 9-11 - says "In Store Only" on the Aldi link.

Given that there's a selection of colours to choose from, I think you only get one pair.

I have a pair. I walked through water that came over the top of my boots but not over the top of the socks, then removed my boots and poured the water out and completed my walk with dry feet. They are surprisingly comfortable, don't make my feet sweat much more than ordinary socks. I haven't used them much so don't know how durable they are.

Thanks OP, would like some.

Yeah, same here. Wouldn't it be better just to get a pair of waterproof overshoes? Apart from the price what's the advantage of these?

A lot of 'waterproof' footwear can let water in, especially when you hit that boggy terrain whilst hiking. There's nothing like wet feet to ruin your hike!

No, it's alright I think I've just answered my own question. Overshoes tend to be more suited to colder weather were as these socks would be more suited to warmer weather. Am I right?

I'm getting mixed up here aren't I. There's a cycling event on at Aldi at the moment, I thought these socks were for cyclists. My mistake, sorry

Thanks for pointing that out all the same. Understood.

These are thicker than your ordinary socks. Not likely to be a problem for hikers but cyclists could find their shoes don't fit.

A good price, anyone fancy the sealskinz ones they are down to £21.99 for the mid mid on chain reaction, if they are good enough for the sas
been wearing sealskinz for the last few winters superb. If the Aldi ones are half as good they are well worth the money
