I am a commercial fisherman, and wear Xtra-tuff rubber boots almost daily.

I swear by Bama socks. I don't know what they are made of, but they are a blue bootie that wicks sweat away. I can go 6-10 hours on a pair depending on work load. When I crab fish in Alaska, it gets cold enough (-40) that the inside of my boots freeze, but, these bama socks are like a sweat check-valve.... I think they are made in Poland.... works great in.waders too

BAMA socks are the best for XTRA tuffs. Must have!


Times 1,000. Love the bama socks. Can't believe how well they work. Pure science majic.

 I suffered with blisters and stinky feet for years until I put coconut oil on the total foot before putting on a poly sock with merino socks over.For setting on the stand after a few miles hike in: Toe warmers that glue onto the toes.Costco sells enough to last a 10 day season for 5 or 6 guys for $15.Hand warmers are a great item for the same price.The toe warmers are designed to work in low oxygen so don't try to use them for hand warmers as you will likely be burned and hand warmers wont work in your boots.I can't over stess enough of how good that coconut oil works to prevent blisters and hot spots.I tried Sport Knit and Moleskin to no avail but remembered the old farmers putting rendered bearfat on their feet where I lived up in Ontario,Canada.Bear fat isnt easy to find so researching  lead me to try organic coconut oil.It worked and much easier to find . It's antifungus-bacterial too.

 Another trick that I use is putting anti-perspirant deodorant on my feet before going on a long hike. Really cuts down on the sweating and blister problems
Just because you believe something is true doesn't mean that it is true!
