Showers Pass Crosspoint Waterproof Wool Crew Socks

This is my second pair Showers Pass Crosspoint waterproof wool crew socks (my first pair lasted 4 years - not bad at all). I use these socks for cold and wet rides, and they perfectly fit the role. The waterproofness is due to a plastic (I assume) layer. In practice, these socks keep me warm and dry on cold/wet days. If you do winter riding, consider buying a pair. I also wear these socks off the bike with boots and running shoes in the winter. Lastly, the socks are thicker than most, so keep that in mind.

I'm having foot problems, so for the time being, I prefer wearing sandals to shoes. I bought these socks to see if I could wear them with sandals in the winter. Never mind that it's a fashion blunder to wear socks with sandals. Well, I'm happy to say that I'm comfortable wearing these with sandals in low temperatures. My toes are not toasty warm; they're slightly cool but not very cold. This product is quite an innovation.

One trouble is that even though I got the large size, they are a bit tight on me in the toes. And of course they are thick so you may need a larger size shoe.

These arent quite warm enough to replace shoe covers on cold days, but on the marginal days they provide enough warmth to leave the shoe covers at home. I have not tested the waterproof aspect, but take some comfort that they will help if things get wet.

Bulky, they fit in my cycling shoes, but just barely. Less expensive than competing products.

Too bulky and not warm. For the money and bulk these socks should be warm but they were no warmer than two pairs of wool socks. I returned them no problem. Thanks

Nice for winter weather.

For gravel adventures I like this sock. Perfect for crossing streams where you might get your feet wet. However, they are a pain to launder, so I only break them out on those special occasions. Also, be sure your tights are the outside of the sock cuff. If the socks are the outer layer all the water that sheds down your leg will slip inside the sock and pool there, it makes for a miserable experience.

These socks work as designed. I bought them to use when cycling but they are a bit too thick for my linking to use in my cycling shoes. So now I use them in my hiking shoes and they are great

Keeps my feet dry in rainy weather, but I find they do a good job keeping my feet warm on those cold dry days below 35^F. Well made and I'm very happy with them.

Great concept in a winter sock, water proof and warm. Before you buy them, please note they are thick. Might note fit in a tight cycling shoe.

I haven't used these that much yet. However, I just did a damp cyclocross race yesterday and these kept my feet warm and dry for the event. The temps were low 40s and it had rained overnight. I am glad these held up especially since I have a problem with cold feet.

I wear these for road riding, mountain biking, and hiking. They're great for every situation. The wool blend makes them nice and warm and they really do stay waterproof (to a certain point). I recommend them to all of my friends.

The socks keep feet dry, however they are a bit bulky.

I couldn't have finished a slushy, early spring gravel race without these.

Definitely waterproof

I plan on riding the TransAmerica Bike Race (TABR) in 2018 and purchased these for cold weather and any days with all day rain. They have been great at temps in the low 30s without shoe covers for an hour. I am hoping they will be great at lower temps with shoe covers. I got these because other TABR racers highly recommend them.

Love it. Fully waterproof. Great socks.
