    Default What are the best summer socks for irrigation boots?

    Seems my rubber irrigation boots fill up faster with sweat than they would if I just let water pour into them. What are your best summer socks for rubber boots?

    None. Put a good insole in them and wear them.

    Wool... May seem counterintuitive but I wear wool exclusively and have no problems with them even 12 hour shifts in waterproof work boots.

    I buy the merino hikers from rei

    Good socks are just important as good shoes/boots. I like the SmartWool brand.

    I was thinking that - are those summer-specific?

    wilderness exchange always has a big selection of seconds for 5 bucks. Like right now I am wearing a pair that say rei but can't be sold as such.
