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 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.

I didn't buy them for wearing anywhere except to bed in the winter. For that they work GREAT! How they would hold up in boots is iffy. They seem a bit to 'fluffy' for much hard wearing. I would try it but would wear thin 'wicking' socks under them.

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 :-)

Haven't tried it because it hasn't been hot where I live yet since I got em... But I think they are light enough to wear in warmer weather. I work out indoors with them and don't get hot.

Yes/No. Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material. No: These are shorts, with a breathable material. Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

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

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

Hiked in Utah when temp was around 80...my feet did not sweat. Love these socks! Took quite a long hike: no blisters!!!

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.

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

yes, they can get pretty toasty in there. i only wear them to walk to work in the morning as there is dew all over the grass & gets my feet & pants wet & they seem to be fine. but i have worn them out to check on my garden & they definitely keep your feet warm.

Hi I don't wear these socks more than two times a week. i work in retail and am always on my feet. I've washed them in cold water, no dryer and they have held up. Dont recommend sleeping in them or wearing them every day as after many hours the top of the socks they leave deep grooves in your calves--but for the days when you know you are going to be in pain you want to wear them.

I haven't worn them hiking in the summer, but I can tell you they are very warm. I only wear them spring to fall, too hot for summer wear.

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.

Yes. I wear mine inside and outside. I am usually in my office and always have cold feet. That is until i wear my Heat Holder socks. If I wear anything else, I really feel the difference. You will be happy with these socks

i got 4 pairs. 4 me, my mother & my sisters. the socks are comfortable but 4 me personally they could be a tad warmer. but they are well worth the purchase.
