Sweaty feet

[Pmerritt]

I cannot get my feet to not sweat while hunting and it drives me insane especially in the cold. I run non insulated crispi boots. Ive tried liners with merino socks. Just merino socks. Tried wool sock, and still can't figure it out. Any tips?

Rub your feet down with an antiperspirant . Works for me.

Feet sweating or boots leaking?

Dang spell check

As others have stated, use either a roll on, stick or spray antiperspirant. When I was competing in various rifle comps, especially in the hot summer, I used the same on my forehead to reduce sweat into my eyes.

I have no doubt what you guys are saying is true but please don't tell me you're using deodorant on your private parts as well

I find my feet sweat if the boot has a membrane and is water proof. Water proof membranes never breathe as well as advertised. Ditch the membrane boots and have drier feet. Until you get your boots get wet from the outside that is…always trade offs…

Antiperspirant and moisture wicking liners, also merino or alpaca wool socks

I've found that over/wrong waterproofing can cause the membrane's breath ability to suffer as well something to be aware of when adding SnoSeal to your boots. I've moved to a Nubuck boot and only put spray on waterproofing.

I've definitely had the issue where my boots get wet from the inside. Good merino socks can help move some of that moisture but at some point it doesn't have anywhere to go. I don't have answers for you. If you're not expecting rain or snow a non-membrane boot might work just fine. Even if your expecting low moisture a good waterproofing in a boot like that would hold up a while. .

Also in the cold, my boots get dried in the evening and get to sleep outside or the coldest corner of camp. As long as they are dry. Extra pair of socks or two also is a tremendous help. Throw them in a ziplock so your pack doesn't get smelly...

I figured that's what you were gettin at,
