I guess these are a thing of the past? Cant seem to find a size large anywhere in the USA. Does anyone use these for winter hiking/snowshoeing with lightweight trail runners/boots?

There's a few articles on winter footwear. Many use the NRS Hydroskin for a similar purpose. Thin and comfortable neoprene sock that's warm and vapor proof if you seal the seams.

For winter I use diver's neoprene socks (thinner version) thin over poly sock liners. I weam seal teh neoprene socks.

These are worn with feltpacks when I wear Sorrel boots or NEOS to keep the insulation dry. They are a MUST when overnight camping, as are the removable liners.

My Scarpa 2 ski boots have removable liners and I wear the same neoprene socks with them too when winter ski camping.

The closed cell neoprene socks are far warmer than their thickness would suggest.
