I don’t want to block sweat, but I do like to block smell. Lavilin for feet will do that.

I tried degree and it seemed to kinda work.
I'm interested as well.
Put my boots on the dryer. So I know there dry.
Always wear a merino mid weight.
Tried with and without a liner, all 3 types poly, cool max , merino.
Don't ever put my truck heat on foot.

1 hrs wet feet.
Its not the boots, this has happened in every brand, style etc etc I've ever tried at least 15 boots.

Best I ever had was a pair of completely un lined fire boots. But I hated the logger heel.

Thinking I may go this route again. I see whites makes a regular heel fire boot. But its special order like 3-6 months. Which mean you can try it on.

Considering asking the doctor for prescription antiperspirant????

I have a problem with feet sweating. Doctor prescribed drysol and it worked great. Once I ran out, I switched to driclor which can be bought over the counter I believe. Same stuff but a little less potent from what I understand. Roll on type liquids.

I’m just trying to fight that clammy feeling that turns into cold toes. I just got back from a late NV elk hunt and I’m hoping the damage to my toes isn’t permanent. The tips of my big toe and it’s neighbor are still numb and it’s been 8 days.

Following... different socks - merino and synthetic blends, uninsulated and insulated Crispi boots, pac boots, rubber (obviously)... no difference. Feet sweat, and eventually turn cold. If I know I'll be sitting in the Wisconsin woods, I bring Ice Breaker boot covers... bulky but effective.

My dr also prescribed a sweat blocker in a cream. They do work but a pain. Occasionally I’ll use a spray antiperspirant.

I mostly walk in using cotton socks if I deer hunting now. Then once I’ve settled down change into wool socks. Seems to work as the cotton absorbs sweat and keeps out of boot insulation.

For mountain hunting, just keep walking in your wool socks. Just doesn’t fit into the process to carry that stuff remotely.

This. Never used but I have prescribed it a few times.

A little Gold Bond powder in my liner socks helps reduce sweat and manage odors, but I definitely will be trying out Certain Dri spray next time I go for a long adventure. The only time my feet aren't sweating is when they are frozen cold, which is often the result of damp socks from sweating.

It’s worth the weight to rotate merino socks daily or every other day depending on exertion level.

Go to bed with the aired out/dry pair on and then wear them the next day. When you get back to base camp or where you’re going to spike for the night, take off the ones you’ve used all day and swap to the other pair.

You can normally strap your second pair to the outside of your pack to air out and dry all day. Or keep them in a breathable mesh pouch, or back at base camp hanging somewhere. Lots of options.

A second pair of smartwool merino socks weighs 3 ounces. Probably the same weight as two big farts. Just carry a second or even 3rd pair and be done with it.

My feet sweat so bad my foot beds and bottom of my socks are soaked halfway thru the morning hunt. I'm talking non insulated boots in neg Temps even. And not slightly damp, wet.

Drill some holes in the bottom of your boots haha. We used to do this with our hockey skates and it works well. You want to talk about sweaty/wet socks, talk to some hockey players.
