Socks: an addendum

I wrote in my post concerning socks the other day that I didn’t like my Sealskinz waterproof socks one little bit.

Today, when I ended up taking my daughter and her friend sledding this afternoon, having thought and written about those Sealskinz recently, I thought I might try them out again. Lo and behold - they were fine.

The secret this time was to wear a pair of summer ankle socks underneath; quite why I didn’t come up with that idea before I don’t know, but it helped no end to ‘normalise’ the Sealskinz to something akin to socks.

And the sledding was great fun, of course!



(I also notice that the Sealskinz sock range has been refined somewhat since I bought mine all those years ago... worth another shot?)
