I love walking. In the countryside, along the coast, around towns. Anywhere really. Of course, it helps if the sun’s shining. Or at least if it’s not raining.
Since bringing Barney, our cocker spaniel into the family, I’m walking more than ever. That’s great. But the downside is that I have to take him out in all weathers. And walk through a lot of muddy puddles. And as a result I’ve discovered that a lot of my shoes let in a lot of water.
Step in some wonderful waterproof socks. I first got hold of a pair of Sock Shop’s Sealkinz Waterproof Socks when my eldest son headed off to the Brecon Beacons for some wild camping as part of his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award last month. Every other expedition he’s been on, he’s come back with blisters and wet socks. So I figured some heavy-duty help was needed.
The socks kept him dry through not only rain, but mountain sleet and snow too. And no blisters. So, needless to say, they’re more than a match for a walk in the woods with your dog. Which is why for the moment, they’re in my sock drawer thank you very much.
We’ve got together with the fantastic Sock Shop to offer you the chance to win a pair of unisex Sealskinz 100% waterproof mid-length walking socks worth £30.99.
These thin, low weight mid-length socks will be your feet’s best friends in any outdoor, wet weather activity. Camping, trekking, or just walking the dog. Waterproof and windproof, they’re designed and made in the UK to Sealskinz ADD (Aqua Dynamic Design) principles with a patented Stretchdry technology – resulting in a flexible, close fitting sock with a comfortable merino wool lining, ribbed leg with elasticated cuffs, ankles and insteps for a supportive, comfortable fit, with blister-resistant hand linked toes for smooth seams.

i bought my son some seamless socks a while ago when he was going through a phase and would only wear socks inside out. they were great, he loved them and have lasted so i would buy more school socks for him x

Your comment that the legs in the photo aren’t yours made me smile, Kim! I would be proud to have such shapely legs, give or take a little depilation, of course!
I am a fan of socks and of the Sock Shop. They sell much more than any old sock and I am pleased to see that they stock unisex socks, too. I would much prefer to see more clothes and accessories sold as unisex.

I like Sock Shop because it provides accessibility to socks such as Sealskinz. Also because I spend a lot of time outside, and appreciate the outdoors type clothings, especially waterproof. Sealskinz waterproof socks appear great. Maybe if I could afford I would buy lots of Sealskinz waterproof and windproof socks.
I need some good socks for work, these look ideal.
So many colourful socks and the waterproof/windproof socks would be great for my son at work

great idea and variety
great designs and great quality
I too enjoy walking, no dog though and these would be brilliant for those puddles I can’t avoid and traffic seemingly throwing the puddle water at me. I would love to try a pair.
I would wear them for the days when I work at an inner city farm. After it has rained, the horses get muddy (they seem to love rolling in mud!), then they have to be washed and even though I wear wellies & waterproof trousers, water often gets into my boots and makes my feet wet. Spending the rest of the day with cold wet feet is no fun, so it would be nice to have socks that keep my feet dry.
hubby works 80hrs per week in winter and this would be amazing for him.
