I tried them out on a few trips. I went back to a typical liner/wool combo.

 

They put wierd pressure on my toes that wasn't very comfortable. My feet stayed damp for a long time after removing my boots in the tent. They also did not wear well. Four trips and they were beat up.

 

They were warm though.

i have neopren gloves but not much breathing going on. wore then on el cap one winter and my hands got pruned up.another good trick for climbing in the rain is a paddling jacket. you will sweat like a wrestler trying to make weight but you won't have water running down your ass crack and into your shoes.

I use them all the time for my feet. The ones I have are made by Gator in Salt Lake City. They are thin and lined. They stink after a few days of usage. I like the fact that they keep the sweat out of my wool socks which are heavy dachstein. I think the benefit comes more from multiple days out. However, you do need to let you feet dry lest you want trench foot.
