[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1366281, member: 75933"] I change socks often and as stated, try to dry the boots when ever you can. I always like to pull the insoles at night, seems to help the most if you can get those dry. Also, modern waterproof membranes are great at expelling moisture in dry climates. As Danner told me once, DO NOT use wax based treatments on your Gore-Tex leather boots. What happens is the wax will penetrate the leather and clog the membrane, which then blocks it's ability to breathe. Keep the boots conditioned with the right stuff, then the boot stays dry, then it can wick moisture from the inside, thus keeping your feet drier. [/QUOTE]
