[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2268968, member: 114151"] Already touched on by many regarding boots and socks, but I didn’t see mention of sock liners. I know some use them and some don’t, so figure out what works for you. Many different boot/sock combos out there. My feet sweat a lot so I started using liners a few years ago to help with hot spots. I have since graduated to high end boots, but still found liners help. I can use very thin sock liners and vary the sock weight (merino or merino blend) based on temp. I use non-insulated boots but have learned what socks to wear based on weather. Many people will have different thoughts but the foot care system is so important. Also, camp shoes which was already noted above. I shed my boots and pull the insoles at camp to let them dry. If for some reason I end up at camp mid day, I put on dry socks. I also pack an extra pair in my pack, not a lot of weight, but have switched socks in the woods if feet seem damp. I have been the victim (self imposed) of nasty blisters and learned some lessons the hard way. [/QUOTE]
