Looks like you found what you need but here's an alternative.

I use hand made polartec 300 socks. They originally were made for cold water commercial divers for their drysuits, but now you can get them from a variety of places and even Cabelas has some.

One thing I love about polartec is it keeps you warm even if it's wet, so if you spring a leak in the waders it doesn't ruin your day.

I've got three pairs. They work great wick moisture and keep my feet warm and dry. I got mine this women off ebay. She's been selling them for years very well made you can't destroy them.

Five or so seasons and they are still as good as new.

I've used them with neoprene waders, breathable waders, and also with my Kokatat Meridian Drysuit, they work great with al three but are amazing under goretex.

Just another option, good luck, Jim
