Anybody else just keep 'em greased decently and tough it out? I'm not a "new boot" guy, but I've been through a bunch and I don't think I've ever seen a pair of leather or synthetics that would keep me dry through a wet side fall/winter. Wet feet eventually became a way of life. "Just keep moving, you'll be fine" :chuckle:
I agree had lots of boots ,water proof doesn't last long.
They all get wet inside at one point or another.
I can almost handle wet feet. I hate when my pants are soaked up to my bum hole.

I take a second pair of socks and a another Dry-fit t-shirt in my pack. After hike in, I change out my sweaty wet socks and t-shirt. Makes a world of difference  :tup:

I did an experiment because I used to think that my expensive $300 boots were not waterproof not waterproof but then I discovered it was my sweat.

If I'm hiking hard or riding into my hunting location I go in base layers or even in my underwear sometimes. The steam that billows off is unreal. Giving yourself 10-15 to cool off, air out and change socks is great.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Same. I thought my kennetreks were junk because my feet always felt wet. One evening I took em off and felt around the inners with my hand and they were bone dry. Quality socks make a world of difference at dissipating the sweat.
