What do you guys like for waterproof/breathable(ish) socks? I know Sealskinz seems to dominate the market but reviews are really love/hate. Any other good options?

SealSkinz are more stretchy and they seal nicely around your ankle so you don't get a wet foot if you set it water deeper than your socks, but on the downside I've heard some reports on here of them not being waterproof which kinda kills the whole point of them.
