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.

I wouldn't recommend these at all for hot weather ... They are thick and do not breathe well. Try looking for a knit material glove with the nubby palm for grip.

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. :)

Hi I only just got these, so I can't really answer the question but they are made of rubber so my guess would be yes they would make your feet hot/warm like most rubber boots. I will wear these even in the summer if it is raining! It would depend on how you would use them during the summer months. Perhaps a good idea would be to wear a thin cotton sock liner (the ones that do not come up too high on the foot) in the boot.

I wear them over my dry suit socks.They work OK for that, water gets trapped in them because of the soles. This I only notice when walking out of the water.

Yes, the socks are suited for hiking in the summer. They are a natural fiber and keep moisture away from the skin. My favorite brand of hiking socks are "Fits."

I'm not a scuba diver but I can tell you that I wore these while volunteering for Ironman CDA where the water temp was 63 degrees! I spent almost 4 hours in the water and can say that my feet kept perfectly warm. The socks are pretty true to size. Hope this helps!

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 wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

I think that depends on you. I only wear mine when it is below 40 degrees and after long runs for recovery. Other than that I run in shorts. If you are wearing them for the compression aspects, I would say it would depend on how you feel in a humid and hot climate like Miami.

They may retain a small amount of water. The arch is solid and the gel parts won't but the sole on top where your foot rests may. I never had a problem with them retaining sweat after a very long mountain run and in 105+ heat I sweat heavy haha. Hope that helps.

Just want to make sure that you meant socks as these are not shoes. Yes, I used this pair for long travel...21 hours total flights. They are tight by design, but not to the point that they're too uncomfortable.

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 wear wool socks all year round even in the dead of summer because they keep my feet the most comfortable. I sweat bad in cotton and synthetic socks. Wool is the best fabric ever. I have 4 pair of Darn Tough Socks, and I highly recommend them. I converted about 6 months ago from another very popular brand of merino wool socks that I wore for years. I like the Darn Tough socks a lot better.

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...

Hi Janet, I purchased these for my grandma; she said they are the warmest socks she's ever worn. FYI they're really, really thick so might not fit when you wear normal shoes. Might be best for home with slippers etc.
