Thread: Hunting socks

Get your feet used to wearing boots for a start, then brand/style of sock you wear doesn’t matter so much. Can only remember getting blisters once in about last 28 years. Mind you I wear boots pretty much daily for up to 16 hours. Currently using Creepers toe socks for summer wear when hunting, been quite a revelation how good they are for controlling sweating between toes.

I swear by Swazi rangers because they have extra padding in all the areas that you usually get blisters in. The weave is also tight enough that they don't really loose their shape after being heavily worn for long periods of time. If you are an NZDA member you also get a discount on the price.

boots are a half size bigger so need to be thick socks to take up the space, didn't need to brake in either pair of my crispi boots never had a blister or any discomfort wet or dry when wearing them
also wore boots for work on the roads for 15 years so feet are use to boots no issue there

wore my crispi nevada gtx for 6 weeks straight in 2021 roar hunting and in 2023 aswell not one issue. Have weak ankles so need boots with good support to minimize rolling them, just got a pair of crispi valdres evo gtx for more flexibility in NI bush, and also lighter weight and saving my nevadas for home SI high country work because they are insulated and less flexible
