My wife made these kamiks for me the inside is an ankle hight duffle sock. The middle is a water proof lined material. The outside is sheep on the top deer on the bottom. When I go in the cabin i leave the outside layer outside so the snow on them never melts. There quite and warm and you can feel the ground under your feet. I know they wouldn’t work for a lot of you because you still come across water but they work for me fall to end of spring.
