I recently bought a pair of alpaburly Lacrosse boots. Was considering the MUCKS but could not find my size here locally. Wore the Lacrosses in 60 plus temps and boots were completly soaked inside. Had to go to Bass pro and buy a boot dryer another 40.00 . The boot was very comfortable and did not wear any blisters on my feet. What kind of socks or liners can I wear in warm weather to keep my feet from sweating? Will wool socks be hot in warm weather? I'm concerned that if my feet sweat in colder weather walking to the stand they will freeze on the stand?

your feet are getting sweaty from the walk in to your stand. If you are hunting in 60 degree weather the Alpha Burly is too much boot. I hunt here in SC and all my boots are non-insulated. When it does get cold I wear a little heavier sock. Also I do not put my boots on until I am ready to go to my stand. When I get back to the Jeep the first thing I do is pull my boots off. You may want to carry an extra pair of socks and change socks after you get to the stand.

Good advice
Consider liner socks and if its 60 out you better not have thinsulate (any) in your boots.
I have an uninsulated pair of alphaburlys I wear (with liners) down to about 35 without any thinsulate and a poly/wool blend sock.

Here in Bama we can have morning in the teen to have it warm up to the 50's by midday. And one thing here is that we have to deal with over insaltation. One thing that helps is to fold the tops down on your boots on the walk in, also the extra socks is a good Idea. I also recomend a light weight wool sock, as the wool will wick sweat away from your skin and still keep you warm. But folding the uppers down will do alot.

I agree with the previous responses.
too much boot for 60degress, lighter socks, a sock that wicks moisture etc.
I don't get out my insulated boots until the temp drops below 40. I always start with a polypropolene (sp?) liner. They are light and designed to wick moisture away. Over that, I wear either a cotton (athletic type) sock or a heavy wool sock depending on the temp.
Something else to consider, some people just sweat more than others. I have heard of people spraying their feet with anti-perspirant (not deodorant). I added this as information only...I have never tried this and cannot recommend.

I have the same problem on cold mornings. My feet used to sweat really bad but I started spraying them with the anti-perspirant and dusting them with baby powder. These two together really help keep the sweat to a minimum.

I bought some WigWam globe socks a while back with a pair of work boots and they really helped keep my boots from getting soaked with sweat. Give them a try, they're about $7 a pair.

I read this post a while back and didn't think anything of it. But after buying the boots I completely understand. These things are like microwaves for your feet...even when you are sitting still! I have never had boots make my feet sweat like these. I'm going to wear almost a panty hose style sock and fold the tops down when I'm walking. Hopefully, I'll let you know if it works!
