Nope, gotta have socks on, or else my feet will start to sweat & stink up the insides of my wellies.

Hi

Have to agree with Bill, for me socks are a must as well.

I consider rubber boots to be rain wear. Like you, they are a integral part of a complete set of rain gear or waterproofs to me. I have never had good results wearing rubber boots on bare feet. I got blisters from doing that before.

Rubber rainboots are far more comfortable with socks. And yes, you're absolutely correct: They ARE an absolutely integral part of rainwear. I just wonder why some people stare when I'm all kitted out for the weat weather, even though they are soaking wet?

Always slip on a pair of wellies when washing cars, keeps my feet warm & dry.

Nice pair of green wellies, thickish socks underneath to keep my feet warm

As I could get wet I always wear my Peter Storm Nylon Waterproof Trousers as well, over my underwear - take my trousers of so not so "bulked up" :)

Must admit I have some Peter Storm overtrousers.
Will have to wear them with my wellies and get Colleen to use the video camera when we go out for a walk somewhere!
Yes?
