Feet perspire more
than any other part of your body except your
head and hands. Each foot perspires about 1/4 cup of water a day at
rest and one full cup when active. (W. L. Gore & Associates, 1994)
4.
Maintain dry boots!
Dry after each use! Each additional day of
moisture buildup makes warm feet more difficult. Consider boot
dryer (i.e., Hotronic’s Snapdry Boot & Glove Dryer).
5.
Remove inner boots
to dry between liner and boot shell.
6.
Maintain dry, clean socks!
Change midday for afternoon comfort and
warmth.
7.
Use single pair of medium weight socks.
Select wool blend,
polypropylene®, or thermax® type socks to wick moisture away and
keep feet dry and warm.
8.
Do not use
thick socks, neoprene socks, or reflective sock liners as
these keep heat from toes.
9.
Do not use
cotton or other moisture absorbing socks.
