The Waterproof Socks In Aldi
Great value for money and work a treat or an utter waste of money and are useless?

First Ride in the Manchester in the wet, Socks were waterproof and feet were dry...
Bought a pair last time. They were brilliant for approximately 3 rides, and useless ever since. Never owned SS so not sure what I did wrong!
I will also report back when its wet!
Surely there's a huge hole at the top?
True, but you can Marigold* the tops or wear them inside your walking trousers/waterproof cycling trousers/bib-tights.
* or some other stretchy rubbery garter.
Last couple of lots they had were rebranded SealSkinz or Dexshell IIRC
I bought a pair a few years back and only used them for the first time last month while I was hiking in Scotland - my boots were still wet owing to tramping through a peat bog for several hours a few days before, so I donned the waterproof socks over the top of a pair of normal cotton ones - kept the wetness from the boots out although my feet were pretty sweaty. It wasn't raining at the time and I had trousers on anyway so not sure how effective they would be if you were wearing them with shorts and it was raining.
Hand wash only which is a bit of a pain.
I bought a pair of these for commuting , but it hasn't rained yet.
Could be worth it just for that
