SEALSKINZ Wiveton Waterproof Mid Sock
Product description
Keep feet drier on wet trails and on active summer days with the SEALSKINZ Wiveton waterproof warm weather mid length sock. Built with an AQUASEALZ waterproof membrane, it helps block water while still allowing moisture vapour to escape. If you want a practical sock for running and hiking when conditions turn damp, this pair is designed to stay comfortable for longer wear 👣.
With a durable nylon outer and a touch of elastane for stretch, this mid length style supports a snug, secure feel. The rayon lining helps with moisture control, so your feet are less likely to feel clammy as you move. You also get classic colour options in black, grey and navy, making it easy to match with outdoor layers and everyday kit.
Key features
The Wiveton AQUASEALZ sock is the lighter option in the range, made for warm weather activities where you still need waterproof protection. It uses the AQUASEALZ membrane to help deliver 100% waterproof performance while releasing moisture vapour during movement. That balance matters, because staying dry is not only about stopping water from soaking in, it is also about managing the sweat build up that can happen while you are active.
The sock’s construction is built around a durable nylon exterior, with elastane added to improve stretch and help maintain a comfortable fit. For additional comfort, the rayon lining adds moisture control during use, which can be especially helpful when you are running or hiking across damp ground. The mid length cut adds coverage and helps reduce the chance of exposed skin when conditions are wet.
One practical point to keep in mind is sizing, because customers may prefer a smaller size than usual. At the same time, it is advised not to size too tight, since you still want the waterproof performance to work as intended. This gives you a clear starting point for choosing a size without making the sock feel restrictive.

What you’ll notice day to day
When you are out in damp conditions, the waterproof barrier is the headline benefit, helping to keep feet dry rather than letting water seep through. For running and hiking, that protection can be the difference between staying comfortable and having to cut an outing short. The release of moisture vapour also supports comfort, because it helps reduce the trapped humidity that can build up inside footwear.
The fit is designed to feel snug, which can help the sock stay in place through movement. The elastane blend supports stretch so it conforms to your foot, rather than feeling stiff. Meanwhile, the rayon lining adds an extra layer of moisture control, so you are more likely to finish a session without that heavy, sweaty feel.
It is also a sock that works across more than one kind of day, from wet trail trekking to casual outdoor activities. The mid length design gives you versatility, with coverage that suits a range of boots and trainers. For a simple daily routine, the sock is described as easy to care for, as long as you follow the guidance on washing and drying.
Care and maintenance
To look after your Wiveton AQUASEALZ socks, wash at 40°C and choose a low tumble dry or allow them to drip dry. For maintaining quality and performance, avoid dry cleaning, ironing, and bleach. Following these instructions helps extend the life of the sock so it is ready for your next wet weather adventure.
In terms of practical ownership, caring for waterproof socks is all about avoiding treatments that could affect the membrane. Gentle washing and careful drying are a straightforward routine, and it reduces the risk of damaging the waterproof performance over time. If you are packing for summer hiking or regular runs in changeable weather, this care approach helps keep the sock working as intended across repeated use.
Worth considering if you want waterproof protection with breathable moisture vapour release for warm weather running and hiking, and you prefer a mid length sock that pairs easily with outdoor apparel in black, grey or navy.
