Sweaty feet options

[tikkashooter88]

Any difference using spray on vs roll on antiperspirant?

I use thin synthetic liner socks and a medium wool sock over it. From desert hunts to deep winter has worked well. Also carry fresh socks if out and moving all day. Changing them out mid day is a great feeling.

I used right guard spray and make sure sure not to have my boots to tight. Most of the time just 1 pair of socks. I wear the same type of socks that I wore while in the Army (thin wool) and that seems to be enough.

I’ve got sweaty feet that always lead to bad athletes foot. (Like toe to shin bad). Hot spots are really common for me but never had a bad blister isssue(fingers crossed). I never really hike enough miles to cause blisters (or maybe just don’t sidehill enough to). Dayhunts up to 6-7 miles according to my iPhone step tracker deal.
Worried about longer back country hunts where hygiene can play a part in creating more of a problem than I’m able to manage with regular bathing and treatment at home.
I have uninsulated crispi guide gtx and wear a liner sock under some thicker socks I got at Walmart hunting section.
My feet seemingly sweat all the time unless in front of a fan. I can’t walk around barefooted to help dry them out because they stick to the floor and everything on the floor sticks to them. Can’t wear flip flops because the sweat makes them slippery slimy and nasty and I hate that feeling.
Never tried any antiperspirants but am curious about trying them.
The athletes foot spray I use isn’t helping either because I’ve been hunting so often which keeps my feet wet. And no I don’t take my boots off or change my socks while I’m hunting. That’s just not reasonable to me.
Thinking I should talk with my dr about it.
What u guys think? Maybe try some merino socks and otc antiperspirant before dr?

This is what I use and it has helped me tremendously... My feet sweat some thing terrible when I have boots on no matter what kind and this “Sure”unscented anti-perspirant deodorant has been a game changer... It sounds like your case may be more severe than mine but for five bucks a can it is definitely worth a shot before heading to the doctor. Good luck!

I'm gonna try it this year, been meaning to for years.

Will leukotape stick after spraying me feet?

What do you all do for your sweaty feet issues? I have looked into both synthetic boots and leather lined boots. My feet sweat a lot and under the bad conditions my feet get super super cold. I just had an elk hunt and used crispi briksdals and my feet sweat even when it was cold in the morning which caused both a few hot spots and some extremely cold toes. I’ve had this issue many years now and have had a lot of issues on January archery hunts and late November rifle hunts.

I’ve used drysol as well and had good luck

Anti-perspirant is the way to go.

Luektotape slides right off feet treated with anti perspirant. I guess you could tape your feet up and then spray them with antiperspirant.

I use smart wool or merino wool religiously. It's the hikers choice.

Unfortunately, driclor has been discontinued

Driclor is still available on Amazon. I was going to give Certain Dri a test run I just keep forgetting to look for it locally.

Glad to see I’m not alone with this prob.
I don’t have tough feet to begin with but after hours of sitting in sweat, they get tore up pretty easily no matter what shoe, boot I wear.
