    got mine in chainreaction cant remember what i paid ;)

    €33 for 1 pair, really? Are they worth it? I suppose if they work they mean you can head out during really bad days when I for one would sit it out, but I never sit it out just because my feet will get wet.

    Seems very expensive

    The Great Outdoors off Grafton Street in Dublin do them.
    They are
    (1) pricey,
    (2) not the most comfortable sock that you will wear,
    (3) not waterproof.

    Rather they slow the time it takes for your feet to get wet, and once wet they keep your feet warm.
    I wore mine under a with overshoes covering my feet on a cycle yday, and I was wet after 5 minutes.
    To really be effective you need a combo of overshoes, sealskinz (or cling film) and mudguards.

    If there not waterproof, why are they claiming they are? False advertising!!

    I'd say water resistant more so than water proof, your feet will eventually get wet but you won't really notice until you take them off as they remain toasty.

    I think they're brilliant.
