Anyone here feet sweat like god awful wearing artic ice muck boots? Or any boots for that matter? i need to bring 4 pairs of socks with me. I love these boots otherwise. Curious if theres any way to help with ventilation or special type of socks.

an old "Arctic Warrior" trick from Alaska is to put anti-perspirant on your feet; do it everyday, not just when you wear the boots.  Carry extra socks pinned inside your parka (inside, under the arms and switch them out as needed. The wet ones will dry out pretty fast.  Wet feet, even it the best boots will either get cold or cause skin problems.

Thanks for info.. and not to mention the smell after few back to back trips. Have to soak and rinse them few times a year.

I own them.  Make sure your socks do not have any cotton in them.

 i use to own a pair of boots with removable insulation and was convenient for cleaning or if its warm out can just leave them out and put regular souls in. The much boots you cant. I just wish the top 6 inches were adjustable

Buy some higher tech socks.  I use a blend of Marino wool and polyester which cost more but work well.  There are some really expensive boot socks that wick and transport moisture extremely well but wool keeps you warm even when it is wet.  Cotton socks basically suck and are useless.
