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.

Yes, they do stretch a little especially in hotter weather. Try wearing thick socks to speed it up a little.

Hello, Yes, I wear them for daily wear as well as running. My impression is that my feet stay a little more dray and warm than in regular wool socks. The only downside is that they are low so your ankles will show if your pants aren't long enough.

I bought these for my daughter, she wore them during hot yoga with no problem, and that was LOTS of sweat! Hope this helps...

Iv washed them in the hottest water possible. And with a about a cup of bleach in a large load in a normal size washer. They hold up ok. They shrink a little in the dryer, but I air dry all my cloths any way to save energy. It's a good buy but The socks are thin, there not warm

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

I go on long walks wearing mine in 80 degree temps and they are warmer then earbuds but not as warm as full coverage cans.

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

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

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.

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

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.

Hi!It's hard to compare these with socks woolen socks, because unfortunately I did not have warm woolen socks :-(But I can tell you that they have enough heat at a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius in heavy leather shoes with steel toes, which have the property very good "absorb" cold.

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.

My wife has MS and her body temperature fluctuates more so than normal. She has found the socks to be very warm and soothing, where as wool etc. socks do not.

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.

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.
