Hunting Boots

[Irving]

Would you guys mind talking about socks a bit as well?

I've never had an issue with socks on hunts, but I definitely am getting hot spots in all my shoes when I'm standing on 160 degree roofs all day. That might be a different conversation, but I figure it's like side hilling all day, only during a forest fire.

I'm curious about the liners. I got a couple pair for Christmas one year, but I don't understand their purpose. Seems like they just make your feet slip around inside the boot more. Do you wear the liner over the sock or under?

Liners are the best invention ever. They fit your foot and if your foot slides in your sock act as a protective layer while also wicking moisture away from your foot preventing blisters.

If your foot slides around in the boot/shoe thats why you?re getting hot spots. Mole skin is good to have in your pack to put on the hot spot to prevent a blister forming.

My feet aren't sliding around in my hunting/hiking boots, but that's definitely not the case standing on steep roofs all days in my shoes. That makes sense, thanks.

So to clarify again, silk liners against your skin, wool sock over that?
