Greetings, How would these socks work for all day walking in a hot climate? Thanks

These socks seem to have a little more wool in them and because of this, are wonderfully warm in the winter. In fact, they are my favorite winter sock. I would, however, pick something cooler for a hot climate. In my opinion, Balega's are better suited for hot temperatures.

They were bought for my grandson to wear when he played in marching band from August through December in the hot Florida sun. They have helped him greatly. I recently purchased several additional pairs

I primarily used these socks while traveling throughout Southeast Asia in hot and humid conditions. Sometimes for multiple days without washing. The were fantastic. Highly recommended for all day walking.

They work great for this. They wick away sweat very well. They are thin, but still have sufficient padding for comfort.Also, they are very durable. I've had two pairs of these for a couple years now and they're still in great shape. I just bought two more pairs in black for my new job. I'm a letter carrier doing walking routes. So around 10 miles a day.

For me, they cooled until they were saturated in sweat, then they just amplified the heat. I wore mine mountain biking in 90+ degree and >70% humidity several times and they were great for the first 15 minutes or so, then I just got too hot and sweaty. If you aren't a sweaty person or they aren't getting wet other ways, you should be good.

JCSF that is a great question, as I have that same problem and hate it! I am kind of picky about insoles, but I have found that the Dr Scholl's Active or Athletic series of insoles work the best for me in my workout, hiking, fashion boots, and even some of my fashion shoes and booties. Your feet stay cool, have great support, and comfort for those full days on your feet. FYI socks with all cotton, wool, or a wool blend will also help with keeping your feet cool and dry. They make thin, cute wool socks now a days. Good luck to you.

I haven't used wool socks, but the thermal ones worked well on a daily basis. Hope this helps u!

Comfort-wise, they are very thin and lightweight. They wick away sweat very well but being so thin they may not have enough cushioning to be on your feet all day. They are extremely well made and will last a long time but I'm not absolutely sure they will suit your needs. I could recommend Under Armour or even Timberland socks that wick away sweat and provide a lot more thickness, so those might be more suitable for what you are looking for. :)

Depends on boots, if good boots and enough room a thinner inner pair covered by hiking socks will keep your feet warmer

I used them in a wet (not frozen) environment and then had wool sock on under them...my feet got wet, really wet and cold but would have been colder without them.

They are cushioned, so they do provide a bit of insulation. I'm in AZ, and it's just now starting to dip into the 30's in the evening they do keep my feet pretty warm, but not as well as the full cushioned hiking socks Darn Tough also sells, if you're in an area with snow, you'll probably want the full cushion.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.

I have worn these in 20-ish degree temps and they keep me much warmer than regular socks. I would say they are perfect at 30-degrees.

I think I understand what you mean, and they're probably pretty slippery, I used them only for running--they're made of synthetic fibers so they don't cause friction/blisters while running--but, I don't think these are the socks you want

I use these in the tropics 87-91F temperatures and they are comfortable keep my feet secure against blisters and I like the reflectors (visibility for drivers at evening/night).overall a good buy for me

These socks will keep your toes warm as well. I have that same problem but these socks really do the trick. Not only do your feet stay warm but your toes as well. They provide a cushion too so you never feel the bare floor. I cannot rave enough about these socks...I was wearing mine last night :-)

I have the black ones and I live in Florida, south Florida, and I can assure you that you will NOT feel hot wearing these. If, for example, you are wearing a cotton Hanes T-shirt with short sleeves, these "sleeves" can be worn down to your mid-knckles and go all the way up to your short sleeve t-shirt and then some; and I don't have short arms; I don't have orangutan arms either, but I would say for a female, my arms might be slightly longer than average; I am 5'8" tall, and my arms are may be a little under average in width, but these sleeves will stretch to accommodate, and WILL NOT be uncomfortable or make you feel like the blood has stopped flowing through your arms; once you yank them up high enough, and pull them down to dover the major part of your hand, you won't even feel them; sometimes I have to pull them down further on my knuckles if grasp something, but that is so minor; they are GREAT, and I am extremely picky... Hope this helps...(I have no affiliation with this Company, but wish I did, then I would get their entire line) p.s. white will get dirty, I think, but it will only take a second to try them...But I have only the black ones and wear them every time I go out. And they show no wear. And they only take a second to put on, I don't have much patience for long laborious dressing tasks...

They will not keep your feet dry if that's what you are asking. They are like a rash guard for your feet.

I have been down to 10 degrees F, wind chills below zero. For 6 and 8 miles. No issues wearing a normal pair of running shoes with this socks.
