WTB: Sealskinz socks - mediums

[HappyCamper]

I'm looking for Sealskinz socks like the ones on REI but don't want to pay full price. I'm a size medium.

Thanks for looking.

You may want to consider Rocky Gore-tex socks in your search.
All the hikers I know that have experience with both, prefer the Rocky Gore-tex.
Sealskins have a history of leaking, it seems (pun intended).
I have the Rocky Gore-tex and will warn you that you need to size up by TWO sizes!!

We just did a "Swamp Tromp" and everyone was outfitted with sealskins. Everyone had wet feet and once the sealskins get wet inside they take forever to dry (wool or coolmax). So, clean/damp feet were much better than having mud caked between my toes but they still leave much to be desired.

One guy on the trip had washed/dryed his socks according to the care instructions prior to the trip. The waterproof membrane between the shell and liner pretty much disintegrated so his leaked like a screen door. Again, they kept out the majority of the debris but still let plenty of water in.

YMMV.....
