Good but better - put your bare feet into thinner produce bags first. Yes, your feet will come home looking like they spent all afternoon in the tub but your socks never saw seat or condensation and are as dry as when you put them on. And with bags on both sides blocking all air tmovement, those socks are fully effective as insulators.
