Yep - Had a pair of Sealskinz for the last 2 years, good investment, warm and dry feet in any golf shoe, regardless of how waterproof the shoe has become.

Both sealskins and dexshell are very good, my advice you might need to size up your shoes as there pretty hefty / bulky 👍

Thanks but unfortunately it's 2 hours or so to the nearest links, besides which half my time's spent in the long grass which still gets wet

Sone good advice on here, thanks guys... seems a worthwhile investment as I've found in the past that even with good waterproof shoes that water still comes in over the top etc 👍👍

After all the positive reviews/recommendations (thanks) I bit the bullet and bought some Sealskinz
Picked them up for £21 from Go Outdoors (still priced up at £35 in store)
First thoughts are... Wow, they're super comfortable and warm
The real test will be out on the course this weekend after all the rain ðŸ‘

New to the forum, but I have used sealskinz for around 5 years and swear by them!
On course in rough they are superb!

i have a pair somewhere i bought for Mountain biking about 17 years ago. I have to say i didn't like them at the time felt very thick and stiff. are they still like this?

yes, still nice and thick. But I do believe you can buy a thinner pair now that are equally as waterproof!
Mine are like this, bought them earlier this year. I wonder if they could stand up on their own.......I don't mind that on cold days, winter golf will be a breeze, but on a wet summers day I would sometimes accept wet feet from normal socks rather than overheat in these. I need to find an actual shop that sells them rather than online and see if I can find a thinner version for warmer, but wet, weather.
I would add, they have worked brilliantly for me including in some very thick and wet rough. I no longer dread the walk into somping grass knowing the inevitable wet feet that will follow no longer happens.

Just purchased a pair of Dexshell off Ebay for £13. See how they fare. I have a pair of SealSkinz somewhere and they are spot on to be fair.

The Sealskins I bought are thick but then they're for winter use so I wanted good insulation as well as waterproofing... they're very confortable
Looks like they make thin versions too presumably for milder climes

Just bought 2 pairs of Dexshells from Evans Cycles at £11.99 per pair. Nice thickness about the same as a standard sock, so ideal for golf.
Are those the ones classed as ultra thin on their site?

OK... so finally tried the Sealskinz on the (very wet) course and I'm pleased to say that even with trainer style shoes (that are far from waterproof) my feet stayed 100% dry, thanks guys for the recommendations 👍👍
