Default Socks and wellies weather...

Thanks to all who replied with tips on this one.
I used to do the long socks rolled over the top of the boots trick, but
wondered if there was an alternative that enabled use of the full waterproof
length of boot.

Owain:

I had wondered about sock suspenders - generally having veered away from
such kinky and bankmanager associated items. Not knowing anything about how
they are attached to the leg and stay in place, can you enlighten me as to
where abouts on the leg they are attached, and if this is actaully above the
normal wellie hight: I seem to have a notion in my head that they attach at
the calf, which would not be suitable for wellie wearing?

Cheers

Maybe the socks used to be made of oiled wool? (In the old days... :-)
) That is reasonably effective in minimising 'wetting'. But if you need
the full protection of the boots to go up further, you might need longer
boots.

I know nothing about sock suspenders, nor do I wish to...
