    I can recommend the sealskinz waterproof socks, although I'm not convinced they're breathable. I've had mine a year and they're completely waterproof and nice and warm on cold days. Be careful washing them or the laminate inside degrades, apparently. The previous comment about water running down your legs is true but I'd still rather have them on even without my waterproof trousers on.
    I've forgotten my PIN for the pain barrier.

    Hand wash them and they last well. Machine washing / drying can be brutal on them. If there's a problem, it's drying them. Because they're waterproof they hold water, so you have to dry them one side at a time. FWIW, I dry mine inside first.

    I commute daily in Portland, OR (very rainy place) and wear a pair of Pearl Izumi AmFibs. They keep my feet perfectly dry and toasty.
    Check out info on them here:

    A colleague of mine loves them but I'm not sure if they are 100% waterproof.

    I have just been down to one of the many dive shops we have in Pompey, and purchased the rubber dry suit ankle cuff, that was suggested by IZTHEWIZ in an earlier reply, and I think that he is onto something.
    I can't wait to get out there in the rain to try it out.
    I think they may need a bit of fine tuning, some cutting to get them to fit over the shoe a little better, but I won't know until I've been out there and tried them out.

    and at £7 you can't complain at that.
    I did need some talc to get them on, and I may need to shave the ankles to aide the whole process.
