Waterproof socks are socks equipped with a membrane that is resistant to water penetration. They are usually made up of three layers, wherein the outer layers prevents abrasion by shoes, the inner layer provides insulation and comfort, and the middle membrane prevents water penetration from outside and provides breathability by allowing the vapor to pass outside. Waterproof socks are breathable, stretchable, flexible, windproof, provide thermal protection, and prevent the feet from getting wet. They are used for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountaineering, cycling, and working in the rains.

Growing demand for multifunctional apparel and accessories with properties such as windproof, waterproof, and breathable for outdoor activities such as snow sports as well as growing popularity of ecotourism are driving growth of the market for waterproof socks. The recent past has witnessed a trend of increasing consumer inclination towards anti-microbial waterproof socks such as Dexshell Coolvent, Hydroskin Wet Socks, in turn, fueling growth of the waterproof socks market. Low market penetration in developing countries such as Brazil, Mexico, India, Thailand, Peru and others is one of the challenge to the waterproof socks market.
