Darn autocorrect, we did the jmt

I also purchased the lone peak mids recently and plan on using them in the snow this winter sized up for thicker socks. For light/occasional snow I would rather just go with waterproof socks and non wateproof shoes. Plastic bags aren’t a great option. I recommend the rocky goretex socks.

I like that they put the waterproof layer on the outside of the shoe so it won’t absorb water. I am concerned about the waterproof layer getting damaged by abrasion though.

I don’t want to use waterproof shoes for super wet conditions because you can’t keep them from getting wet. Winter snow is different. I think waterproof mids are appropriate for fall conditions when you are dealing with dry conditions mixed with cold rain and snow. In spring conditions they are terrible because of flooded trails, potholing into slush puddles, countless snowfield trickles, and constant raging creek crossings. In those situations waterproof socks are much more practical because you can modify your footwear for different situations.
