"So I would need several pairs of $35 sox" You may be able to get by with only one pair of the $$$ waterproof sox. The gortex sox I have are not very thick and have little to no insulation. So what I do is put them over fleece sox that are warm, and those I put over very thin (might be silk) sox liners. Those innermost sox get all the washing. I use just the one pair of gortex sox and very rarely wash them. I think of them like shoe covers that go inside the shoe. In fact I originally bought them instead of getting expensive foul weather boot for sailing. Looked at that way they were a real bargain.
