These seem to be made of the same stuff as sealskinz waterproof socks which are twice the price.

I've had these for over a year and find them better and comfier than my SealSkinz. Just wash as normal with the rest of your gear, turn inside out to dry. I've never needed to use any 'waterproof washes' as I do with my waterproof tops to clean and replenish the outerskins. Since these have no outerskins for waterproofing or beading. The pressure from you feet in the shoes may eventual penetrate through them, normally nicks from toe nails or walking in them in gravel are the causes of waterproof loss. Like I say as good as sealskinz. You can/could also buy this brand more expensively on Amazon, assuming these are still the Dexshell brand as they look the same as the ones they sold last time. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dexshell-Coolvent-Waterproof-Breathable-Socks/dp/B00AF6PXQU/ref=sr_1_6?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1443114565&sr=1-6&keywords=dexshell+socks+waterproof
Interesting. Breathable, so shouldn't make your feet sweat.

For washing, use a dwr replenisher like grangers.

You don't need a DWR like Grangers as they have a breathable / waterproof membrane
They are the same ones as on sale two years ago by the way :smiley:
