Best Socks for Sweaty Feet

[Formidilosus]

Any brands to recommend?

Mongulai are the ones I’ve used the most.

I’ve tried alpaca wool socks which helped some. The problem is they’ve dropped the percentage of wool over the years and they don’t work as good on recent purchase. These are Dalhgren brand.

Definitely a light weight merino sock would be my choice. One of the few materials that still insulates when it starts to get wet. And a lot of companies make them so they are easier to find than some of the other materials out there

1) You can use antiperspirant on your feet. You can even get "prescription" antiperspirants from your doc. These do work.

2) As or socks, try coolmax or similar synthetics. I would stay away from merino wool. It's comfy by wears out pretty quick with regular usage.

3) Make sure your footwear is as breathable as possible, i.e. mesh > goretex, etc > leather

Don’t over sock yourself. I just wear thin socks all the time and have no issues. Lots of times I just wear a liner sock. Especially if I’m moving a lot. If I’m going to a cold sit I have slippers and arctic shield boot covers that throw on once I stop. It’s what works for me

Those socks are a game-changer for me. Message me for a discount code.

The spray-on Gold Bond is a great solution for feet. Easy to put on and doesn't make a mess.

I am in the same boat with sweaty feet. No matter if they are cold or hot, they sweat. I will agree with others that some sort of anti perspirant has worked best for me. There is a "Carpe" brand on amazon that sells a lotion type anti perspirant for feet. It is expensive but it really does work.

KUIU strongwool (new zealand sock company) and ultra merinos are the best socks ever made imo and I've owned a bunch of high-end socks

Mongolian Camel wool and/or Yak wool socks are significantly better than merino wool. Quality Alpaca is good as well.

Why do you say they are significantly better than Merino wool which seems to be the go-to wool for socks?

I recently ordered Alpaca socks from Paka apparel and also Yak and Camel socks from mongolianstore.com (Their prices were very reasonable btw). Haven't received them yet, but I've always had a problem with my feet getting REALLY hot. SO much so that I get a burning sensation that is really uncomfortable.

I went to only high end running sneakers to help, but always loved nice leather boots, and have Red Wings, Trumans and Wolverines, that I want to wear, So I am in a search to try to find some socks that will allow me to weak boots again.
