Hey, /out/. I don't know if this is the proper board to ask, but I have a very annoying problem. It's getting rather cold where I live and my feet sweat easily. It's not usually a problem but recently it has gotten very cold and I have experienced negative temperatures (on a Celcius scale). This is in and of itself bad, but my feet get the worst part of it:
>they get cold
>I put an extra pair of socks
>they sweat
>the sweat cools down
>I feel cold again (and wet)
All my socks are 80%+ cotton made. Is that a problem? What to do?
TIA

Use wool. Cotton has its places, but socks is not one of them.

if it's super bad, wear dry wicking socks made from polyesther (expensiv!) under a pair of wool socks. Yes even in sommer, wear the big ones, they will isolate you from the heat outside. Switch socks during lunch.

You need new feet

you need jungle boots they will solve your sweaty foot issue.

You have two options:
1) two pairs of socks, cotton on the inside, wool on the outside
2) synthetic (or part-wool) hiking socks.
I tried the former and found boots were too small for two pairs of socks, but the latter solved my problems.

never put on multiple pairs of socks, if you ABSOLUTELY MUST then two pair, never more, thats some hobo wisdom there, trust me,it will kill your feet and necroticism is not fun.
also, where the fuck do you live that its getting cold now and you have never experianced negatives before? like the equater or something? damn man

Just get synthetic or wool socks. I wouldn't recommend 2 pairs. Not even sure if I'd recommend a liner and a sock.
>>
Get a thin liner sock, and then a wool sock over it preferably. But a tight fitting liner is more important.

Toe socks. Great for avoiding sweaty cold feet.
Also as anons said, avoid cotton.

Get wool socks. They'll run you $10-$15 for a single pair, but god damn they last and are worth it.
Wool wicks away moisture from your skin and also keeps you warm. They don't hold an odor. They're like magic. No memes, it's about as perfect a material as you can get for human feet.

first part of this is what you need to know, but the whole thing is worth watching.
