The 10 Best Waterproof Socks

Updated October 18, 2017 by Daniel Imperiale

We spent 25 hours on research, videography, and editing, to review the top selections for this wiki. If you spend any time in moist or downright wet environments, then a good pair of waterproof socks can save your feet. They'll keep your lower extremities dry and warm by resisting water from without and also wicking away moisture from sweat. There's no shortage of styles available, either, so you can find something to fit your personal taste. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to support our work. Skip to the best waterproof sock on Amazon.
