Message: [QUOTE="blizz, post: 2087423, member: 4252"] Thick wool socks. 2 layers better than one. Definitely want wool against the skin. Loose fitting shoes. You want the layers of socks to not compress when in the shoe. Goretex is nice but, like many aspects of footwear, is a matter of preference. You're going to get wet no matter what you do. I prefer to stay light and have better ground feel, so a flexible sole, but I know guys who lace up hiking boots, prefering the traction to cut into the terrain from a more rigid sole. Gaiters are not a bad idea either. Good luck. Wish I could make it. The fact that you're a Spartan lets me overlook the fact that you're one of those unmentionables. [/QUOTE]
