For now, satisfied with an interesting addition.
Was pleased to find 2 pairs of these socks including Hydrostop at a relatively low price with no delivery charges. Smooth handling. Purpose is mainly for (Swedish) tour skating m.h.o.o. wet feet or swimming. In the latter case, I then possibly have a spare pair for in the wet shoes, in addition to the other spare clothing. To wonder if my feet would stay dry when swimming. I don't assume so. Immediately practical. One must realize they probably cannot be washed with ordinary detergents. For my purpose, rather a concern is having to dry them 2x, including once inside out. The same applies in a spin dryer. Without the latter, it is convenient to squeeze them out and hang them upside down 2x. Waterproofing I tested by standing in a bucket and moving around. That went well with both pairs, after very little use. It was interesting to compare them with regular thick socks, wearing 1 pair of each kind at the same time. In the house, walking outside, and rowing in cold weather. - Breathing went well, noticed little or no difference. - Warmth was the same. Suffering from cold feet in the rowing boat, I was hoping for more warmth from Sealskinz due to their sealing. That didn't come true. The "Hydrostop" was a bonus with this purchase. Is in itself simply a rubbery strip. May seal a bit better against running water (not tested). Also helps against sagging. Handy to roll them off first when putting them on. For sizing, it is really a matter of luck to be at the upper end of the range, as the socks do not adjust to the feet very much. With my 42, I came out just fine in M 39-42. The socks are quite thick and feel rubbery, but are not obstructive. I've also skated with them for a day now, in half-height hiking boots. Durability of socks and the 'Hydrostop' not yet able to test. For now satisfied with an interesting addition.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Dry but still cold feet
Less warm than hoped for, sock is quite thick so your shoes have to be a bit roomy otherwise it won't fit. With neoprene overshoes still cold feet at 0 degrees. Feet stay dry though. Think ideal in wet weather around 5 degrees. All in all, they disappoint me.

super socks against the cold
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
No hot sock
My 16€ Castelli Quindici socks are warmer than these. Thick stiff socks that don't even feel fine in terms of fabric when you have them on. Not recommended below 10°C. The outer side of the sock does get soaking wet so the cold also comes right through.
