Wet Feet

Good cotton socks and ]Redwing 202 boots work great for me. They breathe very well in hot summer months. They wear like tennis shoes since they're so light weight.

as another member said here, spray your boots down with some silicone spray or wd-40,, back in the 80s, I took an old pair of my military boots that I would ride my motorcycle in, I rode year round, my only transportation for 3 years, well in the winter months and if I had to go out when it was raining, I would wipe my boots down with motor oil and thru some pretty heavy downpours my feet would stay perfectly dry..if it works in heavy downpours and 50 to 100 mile trips,, I guarantee a little bit of dew will be the last of your worries.

Hi,
Wearing boots while riding a scoot and walking in them for hours on end are two very different kind of shoes.
The problem with silicone spray is that it is not compatible with every kind of leather because it has a drying effect on the leather which may make it crack easier.
There is vegetable tanned leather and chrome tanned leather.
I forget with which kind it is not compatible with.

here in AZ I usually just hunt in flip flops(sandals) since the weather is pretty warm year round.

true, I should have added that I didn't mean to treat a new pair of boots in this way, I wear boots all day , everyday ,riding or walking, but the process still worked
