Try a product called CERTAIN DRY anti perspirent.  It is at Wal Mart by the deoderants.  Aluminum is the main ingredient.  This stuff changed my life.  I had sweaty feet all of my life.  It is AWESOME !!!!

Thin silk socks next my skin help with both warmth and wicking the sweat away.

I wear a thin pair of polypro liner socks under my wool socks, this will keep the moisture away from your feet.

I think Gene has a home brew in Come November. I can't remember the exact powder, maybe someone else will or Gene will see this and chime in. I've heard of people getting Botox injections for there hands, guess it would work on feet as well.

alum, as a foot soak. It's what you 'pickle' stuff with I believe.

It will 'tan' your foot, close your pores, and voila, no more sweaty feet for several months.

try it- its cheaper than Lavalin..or deoderant..and results are guaranteed.

There used to be a rock band called sweaty nipples.  Guess I'm on the wrong thread.   :confused:

Aluminum chlorate solution. Apply morning and evening for several days before you hunt, and continue through the hunt.

Also consider using much less heavily insulated boot while using an over boot when you reach your stand, the over boot being a quickly removable layer.

Use sock lined with pure silver-thread.  They work.  Sitka Gear; X-scent; Medalist... all companies that make 'em.

And/or wear merino wool.
