Anyone know the cheapest place to get them? Looking for the mid length ones. Cheers in advance.

I’ve picked mine up cheap on eBay in the past

Why would you? They’re crap in my experience, just end up with socks full of water with nowhere to go

Cheers everyone. bigG, there are as much to keep my feet warm as anything.

Why would you? They’re crap in my experience…

I thought the same at first, but I was buying the wrong size.

I found they only leak if you get them too tight. Get a loose fit and they’re great.

Spent most of last winter using Sealskinz with sandals. Tramped through wet slush, through little creeks etc without getting wet feet.

Why do people think they’re crap? Is it when water gets in the top of them? Mine have been fine

i use knee length version with my knee warmers overlapping them for full waterproofness. Stops water splashinf down into them. I did end up though after 1 wet ride with 2 socks full of water which kind of baffled me, but least feet were warm

I bought mid length direct at the cycle show. Wish I’d bought the longer ones now, as I think they would provide more leg protection with 3/4 length baggies. Mine were £20 and they are great.

Great product, let down by the large hole in them.

Isn’t that to let the water out?

Mine are still going strong. They don’t keep me completely dry, water does get in the top but that’s still an awful lot better than the alternative.

Good idea but a flawed concept – unless you wear full length waterproof trousers or tape the tops up they will always let water in through the top, creating an, all be it warm, mini swimming pool for your feet.

Crummy customer service too (ime)

my MW80s seem to be doing a better job of things so far 🙂

One pair of sealskinz, one pair of old rubber gloves. Cut the top 5cm or so off the rubber gloves, place the rubber rings you end up with over the top of the sealskinz. Voila – no water seeping down your leg inside the sock

How has no-one picked up on this?

I’m still too confused by it. Where was this occurring? Why? Too many ??s

I have to say I was disappointed in them.

I rate them. Just seal the tops with about 3″ off ankle area of an old wetsuit for total waterproofness in all conditions.

I would imagine that not everyone has ‘an old wetsuit’ lying around the house though! 😆
