Neoprene socks are designed for different purposes than standard socks. Typically, people don’t expect to wear their neoprene socks on a daily basis. As a result, you’re likely to find that they don’t offer the same fit as the socks you’d normally buy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou just might find that they are less comfortable, have thicker seams or feel suffocating in your shoes<\/strong>. It’s because of this that it’s important to shop around to find the neoprene socks that fit you the best. It’s natural to expect the fit to be tighter inside your shoes, but you do want to make sure your feet are still comfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou might have to experiment with different sock thicknesses before you find what you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your Feet May Still Get Wet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While neoprene socks are incredibly useful, they aren’t an end-all solution to avoid wet feet. There are still situations in which your shoes can end up waterlogged. If the shoes you’re wearing aren’t waterproof, neoprene socks can only do so much.<\/strong> Also, some neoprene is designed with open-cell foam, which means it will allow the water in without hesitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAdditionally, shoes that are too short for a water crossing will result in water flowing over the tops and into your shoes and socks.<\/strong> As a result, it’s a good idea to bring along some taller boots<\/strong> if you’re going to be crossing a lot of water. Some campers even recommend the use of waders to really make sure you don’t end up soaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey Can Take Time To Dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Although neoprene socks can be quite effective for avoiding waterlogged feet, this can mean they end up soaking up a lot of that water.<\/strong> If you’re familiar with using a wetsuit for diving or other water-based activities, then you’ll have a good sense of how these socks will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce you have gotten through the water, you might find that your neoprene socks take quite a while to get dry.<\/strong> If they remain in your shoes for a while after the trek, it can become difficult for them to dry out effectively. Consequently, it might be worth having a backup pair, or at least a pair of dry regular socks you can switch into if you get uncomfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWaterproof anything takes longer to dry–so it’s good to be prepared. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
