I suppose it depends how often you wear them. My 2-3 year-old Gaerne's are standing up well. I was amazed when I came in to trials that they were the only boots that claimed to be waterproof. It seems like such a fundamental requirement. Anyway, I'm very happy with mine, my feet stay dry and warm and I only wear an ordinary pair of poly-cotton socks with them. (I would wear some thermal socks, but I should have bought the boots a size bigger.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_orange Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I use army goretex boot liners (for enduro mainly) and have ones that come up to my knee. They are very waterproof and I don't think I've ever had wet feet, apart from maybe a bit of damp from sweat. Also, I always wear bridgedale trekker socks and they keep your feet perfectly warm even when soaked through. They are very comfy and just keep your feet comfortable whether it's hot or cold. I call them "my magic socks" and I've got about 10 pairs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed a wet foot one day whilst walking a Dartmoor river section... It didn't bother me and I've bought another pair exactly the same since,I like them.The new ones and the knee length Sealskinz keep me dry and comfy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Willie's dad. Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Sealskins. Used them for years carp angling. Warm and dry, last ages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakennstirred Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) I have some Sealskins socks, had them 3 years and they are great. If in the UK look out for aldi shop fishing offers, they also have some good waterproof sock and they are half the price of the Sealskins brand Edited July 18, 2020 by shakennstirred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
