Where do you get yours from (meaning cheapest deal incl. P&P), and which model do you buy exactly as it seems to be a few different models.

I presume you are talking socks. I got mine (the mid-height ones) from Wiggle for around £16, but about 8 months or so ago. They are great and really do the trick.

Yes sorry, forgot to mention socks. But you get Thin Mid Length Socks or Mid Weight Mid Length Socks or the thick ones too. Which ones do you have?

Hey cooldad, are the thermals waterproof too?
I have found those ones and they seem to be the cheapest, and they are knee high which comes handy when it is colder. Are they the correct models regarding the waterproof thingy?

They're all waterproof.

These are the ones I use but unless you live next to the two shops that have them, you won't get them at this price

Thank you, and yes I have a GoOutdoor just down the road but unfortunately they don't have them in stock (will be keeping an eye as at that price is a good bargain)
I may get the knee length one pair instead so that I can use them for the colder days too. Thanks Cooldad

I got mid-weight ones I think. They do the trick.

Yarp longer is good, problem i have with mine is water sloshing over the top on wet days and then sitting like a pool in my sock it makes me unhappy

Which is why you should use them with some waterproof kecks, or leggings.
Otherwise it's like wearing a goretex jacket, and open toe sandals, and complaining that your feet get wet.

Wear with leggings over them, but water still gets in, smash through enough rivers n all. we live in wales after all proper rain here as you know

Sometimes get a bit of water in them if conditions are really bad, but anything else would be equally soggy. The good thing about the thermal ones is that the water warms up anyway.

Never had a drop of water in mine with Endura waterproof leggings.
