If you want to keep your feet dry in wet outdoor situations check this list with best waterproof socks for men, and read more below how they work.
How they build waterproof socks
These waterproof socks are constructed with layers of fabric where at least one of them is waterproof or waterproof-treated. The material and thickness can vary depending on their purpose. They can be used for hiking, hunting, trail running, etc. So they can be ankle-high, mid-calf, knee-high. Obviously, the purpose of such waterproof socks is repelling water and keeping the feet dry. Typically, they also have a micro-bacterial barrier to prevent developing odor.
By using such weatherproof socks, you can reduce the chances of developing blisters. They use nylon, lycra, or elastane, but also wool in combination with these materials, so the socks are breathable and stretchable. The external layer is the most durable and elastic, to follow the movement of the feet. The middle layer is a breathable membrane that repels water. The inner is soft and it feels pleasant to skin.
The history of waterproof socks is long. They were invented by John Logie Baird for soldiers in WWI to combat “trench foot”. So anti-fungal powder Borax was used to prevent mold-related infections, and an absorbent layer was added to wick away sweat from the foot. You would not believe, but the same person is credited for the invention of television.
Washing waterproof socks
It is best to wash these socks by hand to avoid damaging the membrane. In any case, do follow the instructions, otherwise they will not work as promised. From what I have seen so far, it is best to hang them somewhere to dry, so do not use a dryer.
All in all, waterproof socks offer comfort and they are great for the people who go outdoor in wet conditions. They will allow your feet to stay dry far longer than any ordinary socks. If you use them for work outdoors, then check some of these excellent work boots. So here is our list with the bestselling Amazon’s best waterproof socks for men, have a look:
