Re: Fox River socks #2459 for heavy sweating?
Gear Selection Forum
Boots are completely over-rated for backpacking and especially day-hiking. Try the various low-cut shoes with moderately stiff soles. I currently like Garmont. The genre is in most circumstances better, and certainly cooler, than any boot. Last summer and autumn, I did fair amount of hiking (lots of fishing) in sandals, sometimes with neoprene sox for warmth....David Brower in the 50s recommended Sierra backpacking with canvas-topped sneakers. I took this advise without complaint in 70s in Northern New Mexico. Running shoes were preferred "approach shoe" in the 80s. Things have improved slightly, but boots remain overkill unless you've got an extremely heavy pack or going on much off-trail.
