    Trying to figure out sizing on these. To the guys that wear these, what do you wear for socks?

    Only socks I use is smartwool socks, they wick the sweat from your feet. Gander mountain sells them. Stay dry stay warm.

    Cotten is rotten outdoors. Retains moisuture. Under Armour or Klim make great socks for boots. I wear a thin pair of polypropylene socks underneath

    You might laugh but I wear womens pantyhose. They wick the sweat away and keep you warm. Wear them under long underwear when sitting a lot or really cold. It’s an old ironworker trick. Underarmor=$40 Sheer elegance plus size=$2.99

    BK might even wear them

    I wear a pair of moisture wicking thin liner socks under Smart Wool socks. The Smart Wool are a great value when you pay about 16 dollars a pair and I have some that are 10 years old! Those are getting a bit thin in the heel. I wear Smart Wool socks in all but the warmest months.

    Same boots, same socks. I bring two pairs of the socks for the weekend and change them out the next day as they tend to loosen up and fall down a bit.

    I wear a Gander Mountain heavyweight boot sock (smartwool?) with my Alpha Ice Kings. My normal street shoe size is 11 so I got the boots in size 12 because of the heavier sock. That is perfect. It’s snug in the width initially but seem to loosen up as I walk around.
    They’re definitely the warmest boots I’ve ever had.

    Do you get ’em online or actually go in a store?
