When you want a waterproof membrane for wet trails

A mid-calf waterproof sock with Showers Pass’ full terry loop cushioning label and an inner layer of 40% merino wool.

Keep in mind: Water can still get in over the cuff, and the three layers take more room than a standard sock, so try it in your shoes before a wet trip.

Closest in Showers Pass’s range: the Cross Point Waterproof Mountain. They differ in blend; the cuff, cushion and size chart are the same.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Showers Pass size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The published average heel-to-cuff height is 9.5 inches. Compare that measurement with the collar of the footwear you plan to wear. See how sock heights differ.

Try the complete layered construction, not only one layer. Extra fabric can change toe room and pressure inside the shoe. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Showers Pass’s product page for this model has no care panel; follow the sewn-in label on your pair.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.

Another sock to compare

Both constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). Padding: “full terry loop cushioning” here, “maximum cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.

DexShell Hytherm Pro Waterproof Mid Calf uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
