BREATHABILITY? do other people have problems with breathability...

By Ranked #326 - Men's Backpacking Boots November 14, 2009

BREATHABILITY? do other people have problems with breathability in these boots? waterproofness is not a problem, rather the buildup of moisture from internal sweating- resulting in damp socks and damp lining - even still now as winter approaches.

do other people with years of experiences in these boots have same problems with breathability have tips for solutions?

I have worn Thorlo athletic socks which are synthetic, well padded and have served me well in a number of one-third marathons and even they can't keep up with dissipating the perspiration generated by my Scarpas. I had to face it that wearing heavy leather boots is something I can only do in the coldest of weather. Otherwise, I wear well-vented synthetic membrane lined boots such as Keens.

I find these boots the worst for making my feet sweat - with leather this thick, there is no more breathability than gore-tex.

Best way to manage moisture is a good sock which I am sure your using ? Try a synthectic sock if your using wool it will wick a whole lot faster
