Full details

The Sealskinz Norwich Waterproof Mid Length Socks are designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection in cold and wet environments. By utilizing Hydrostop and Aquasealz technologies, these socks keep feet completely dry while maintaining breathability, though the specialized waterproof membrane can feel slightly stiffer than traditional cotton or wool hiking socks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these socks truly 100% waterproof?

Yes, they feature a proprietary waterproof membrane that prevents external water from passing through to the skin.

Can I tumble dry these socks?

No, you should air dry them to protect the integrity of the waterproof membrane.

Do they prevent blisters?

The hand-linked seamless design is specifically built to minimize friction and prevent blisters during long hikes.

How do I maintain the waterproof coating?

Avoid fabric softeners and harsh chemicals; simply wash with a mild detergent and air dry.

Are these suitable for summer use?

These are primarily designed for cold-weather use due to the high Merino wool content and waterproof layering.

What is the Hydrostop technology?

It is a specialized cuff seal that stops water from trickling down your leg and into the top of the sock.

Troubleshooting

Sock feels tight inside the boot

The waterproof membrane adds thickness. Try loosening the laces of your boots or wearing them with a less restrictive hiking shoe.

Feeling damp inside the sock

Ensure the sock is pulled up fully and that the Hydrostop cuff is against the skin. If it is, check if the moisture is actually sweat due to over-exertion or external water ingress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% waterproof protection for wet weather hiking
  • Natural odour resistance from high-quality Merino wool
  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties
  • Seamless design reduces blister risk
  • Provides significant warmth in cold conditions

Cons

  • The waterproof membrane makes them thicker than standard socks
  • May require a slight break-in period to feel natural
  • Limited to cold-weather utility due to insulation levels

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, always wash these socks inside out on a cool cycle (30°C). Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the Aquasealz technology. Air dry the socks away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the technical fibers. For the best fit, pair these with boots that have enough volume to accommodate the slightly thicker knit of the Merino wool.
