Having a tough time of late with some toes freezing a bit. Feet sweating and double boot liners holding some moisture. so from the second morning on i'm basically standing on ice the rest of the trip. Tried a bunch of different sock/liner combos and can't quite seem to get it figured out. It's new to me this year as my feet are normally fine. I currently wear Asolo Evoluzion afs. Any ideas? Me and my toes would appreciate it. Thanks

Try vapor barrier socks, and put your boot liners in your sleeping bag at night so the dry out.

Take an anti-perspirant spray, or balm and apply liberally. Helps a lot!

This won't keep the sweat down, but you can put those heat pads behind the tongue of your boot. It'll increase blood flow and warm up the foot overall. I haven't had problems with an increase of sweat with that yet.

+1 On taking the liners out each evening. That is the only solution...

When I am on a long trip out I utilize overboots. I also cuddle with the liners each night (it gets a little lonely with a bunch of dudes sometimes), I also perpetually have a pair of socks inside my shirt to dry. Makes me smell like socks but after 24 days in the field who cares?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
