I use the sealskinz ones with a thin merino liner.
With a puttie they stay pretty dry.
Make sure your pants,or whatever are over the puttie or the water tracks in real quick.
Feet stink as much as they do in other socks just need to wash and dry at the end of the day.
The seal at the top is pretty good if your sizing is correct and the puttie elastic top helps too.
But you don't spend time standing around in knee deep water.
I have a pair of Lowa desert type boots I intend to try the water will go in and out of them real quick but the socks should look after my feet.
One of the reason I have gone to these is the chemo nerve damage has buggered up the feeling in my feet and the signals are are crook so need to look after them.
