[Closed] Which waterproof socks (not Sealskinz)...

Any advice appreciated,

I'm not having much luck with the sizing of Sealskinz socks. Medium are too small and large are too big. What I'm after is a pair of waterproof socks that fit like a regular pair of socks and about the same thickness as the mid lights.
Anyone have any success with anything other than Sealskinz.
I'm a UK size 9 in Nike footwear.

Thank, Phil.

I've got gore waterproof socks. I wear them over normal socks though so they don't fit like regular socks.

They are very waterproof though.

Thanks guys,

I've looked at the Gore socks and thought about using them over normal thermal type socks.
What are they like for fit over a regular sock, do they conform well to the shape of your foot.

Gore here too.
Yep, they are foot shaped and you won't know you have them on, apart from not having wet feet.
They have their limits, but mine are 7 years old and I was riding for 6 hours in a storm.
But even then the water inside soon warms up and you have warm wet feet.

The Gore ones are thin/unlined. Just imagine a thin-skinned Goretex jacket.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm gonna get myself a pair of Gore socks and see how they go. Hopefully I won't need to rely on they're waterproof qualities too often.
