are these socks waterproof. Do they let water get in? I live in Panama and I need something that protects my feet from the downpours.

the water easily gets in the top. I don't think they are meant to stop water from getting in - only to protect your feet from chafing and getting cut on rocky beaches.

Water can get in if submerged. Feet stay dry if walking around on a wet surface.

I used them with chaco sandles for hiking in Hawaii on muddy trail. My feet stayed dry.

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

Your feet definitely get wet, they have grip on the bottom to prevent slip & falls only. Not waterproof

Yes, they are waterproof. It's one of their bigger selling points, and it states it on the box. We've had a few downpours and 2 snowfalls, and they still work great (they're out in the open, not under any kind of shelter)!

Yes, they prevented any water from seeping into my ears, they have little ear buds that are like little suction cups, that prevent water from getting into your ear. One side of the headphones just stopped working, but I was using them as my reg headphones because they are so comfy!

These aren't water proof on top...just on the bottom. If you get the colored part wet, it seeps over the whole glove. I like these because they are breathable and my hands don't get sweaty when cutting wood or working in my garden.

I wouldn't consider them water resistant but would consider the Tango Thong very water tolerable. In wearing mine, they sometimes get wet but always dry without drawbacks like shrinkage or staining. When my Tango Thongs need cleaning due to perspiration or just plan dirt I float them upside down in the swimming pool for a day and then let them air dry in the sun. I hope this answer helps and if you're on the fence about getting a pair of these, go ahead and get them. They are the best and most versatile flops out there. Jimmy

Mine aren't so I don't wear them in bad weather. I think it's better that they 'breathe'. Waterproofing them could make them smell bad because your feet would sweat with nowhere for the moisture to go.

After a brief look at the ones in your link, it appears they are water resistant. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

They're definitely water resistant. We've been in a few light rains and drizzles with them. I can't say how long they might keep the water out in a downpour.

I've never been in the rain wearing them. As far as sweat, well, they are for runners.

If sealed tight these would keep rain and moisture out. I would not submerge.

No they wont. If they fit snugly (order a half size smaller), they may insulate your feet from water and the elements. But they wont keep your feet from getting wet.

I would call them water resistant not water proof. They protect from evening dew , or fog very well.

If they have not dried completey , yes they are not water proof. When water hits it runs. Hope this helps.

These are supposed to be water resistant. I went into a creek and I was sure the pants would be soaked, but it beaded right up and it was dry. I have never been in a downpour, but at some point I am sure these pants will become truly wet.

Not sure what you're asking, they are water shoes so your feet do get wet; however they do protect them and provide comfort with find on.

I've bought about a dozen of them for my back yard... I live in miami and i just had one good bad 2 weeks ago with not a lot of rain fall for the last couple of months. I would say they seem to be water resistant. But non the less happy with the product.

I am not sure...but the socks are "fuzzy" inside and i would think they'd absorb sweat. I LOVE mine and have ordered many pairs for my loved ones....good luck!
