Waterproof Socks FAQ for OEM, private label and wholesale buyers.

Waterproof socks are functional socks made with a multi-layer structure. They are designed to help keep feet dry in wet outdoor conditions such as hiking, cycling, fishing, camping, hunting and rainy travel.

Most styles use a protective outer layer, a waterproof breathable membrane and a soft lining. The membrane helps block outside water while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Our waterproof socks are designed to resist water penetration under normal wet outdoor use. Performance can vary depending on water pressure, washing method, product structure and usage. We recommend sample testing before bulk orders.

Our waterproof socks are designed for hiking, fishing, camping, cycling, workwear and other wet-weather activities. They are not designed for swimming, diving or full underwater use.

The waterproof protection works up to the top of the sock. If water goes over the cuff, it can enter from the opening and your feet may get wet. For rain, wet grass, shallow water, mud and outdoor use, waterproof socks can help keep feet dry and comfortable.
