I think Gore-Tex might be a good idea. Can anyone recommend some?

If you're going to be riding in the winter then go for SealSkinz. They're expensive but they're very good.

I think there better than sealskin type ones as these are thinner and are great in the summer worn with thin wicking socks in winter same wicking socks, and easy to pack away.

I'd go Goretex.
I find sealskinz draw my feet so much that I can't wear them. Think the ones I had were millitary.
They were Black.
Try plastic carrier bags in desperation.

I have sealskinz and really rate them. However, if the Army ones are thinner then I'll give a pair a go as the sealskinz may my boots a little tight.

Depends if you need waterproof or not? I use thousand mile socks normally as my boots hold out the wet (so far)
