Has anybody tried these out. Do they work. What are they like to run in? Do you get blisters etc etc.

After climbing a great hill one only finds that there are many more hills to climb ......
Mine did work. They feel a bit strange initially, but I didn't get blisters or anything. I think I buggered mine up by washing them wrong. Second time I wore them they didn't work!
Yes they work! I used a pair when recceing the BGR in winter and always got back with warm, dry feet, even when running through slush and deep snow.
You need to make sure that you have a pair of shoes slightly bigger than normal as even the thin (medium?) ones are considerably thicker than normal socks.
I'm not impressed by them , still got wet feet althou warmer, pricey too.
I use a pair in winter, they are great in snow keep my feet a lot warmer but then I wear a thin pair of wool socks as liners.
Too warm for summer though.
I've had mine for three years now and I think they are on their way out I'll be getting a new pair for definite.

Use mine mainly for biking although have used them on a couple of occasions when running. As already pointed out they are thicker then normal socks which means you may have to squeeze your feet into your shoes.
You just need to be aware that if if your feet go too deep in water\bogs and water gets over the top of the SealSkinz inevitably it will get inside and then it has nowhere to escape so it can be a bit unpleasant!
I've got a pair and I think they are ok sometimes they leak sometimes they don't. Not the best when it goes over the top but then the water that sits inside gets warm. They do keep your feet alot dryer and warmer. Did a run through lots of mud the other day and they held out ok
There are two weights (thicknesses) of socks, originally a 'hiking' sock & 'cycling' sock. The cycling socks have been rebranded as 'light hiking' and are no thicker than monoskins so don't need larger shoes and they are just as waterproof.
Why on earth would anybody want to wear a waterproof sock?
