Sealskinz socks

Just looked on the Sealskinz site thinking there'd be one type of sock and there's loads.

Which ones are best for running in and wheres the best (most economical) place to get them.

I run in both the mid light and the ultra light.

Best places to buy? I usually google them and see who's got what - some of the cycle shops seem to have good prices.

Thanks Eric, I'll get googling.

Are they actually waterproof though? Seen the demo vid and they don't look it.

siance - yes they are waterproof but will let water in over the top just like any other waterproof footwear would.

I've used sealskinz for years and can attest to their waterproofing

personally I wouldn't run in them as they are as good at keeping sweat in as water out - but do bike in them

Ah thanks Buddha. Was contemplating getting Mr S some for off-road mara training.

They won't keep your feet completely dry, cos as Buddha says, they can keep some sweat in - but to run through knee-deep muddy puddles and get home with only damp feet is to my mind far better than either having to avoid the fun of the puddles or ending up with soaking wet feet. The modern versions dry far quicker than the older ones.

They're not too expensive, so why not try a pair?

I recommend flax linen socks from pure-linen.com/socks. They are very good if you like breathable thin socks.
