How are you managing foot sweat and comfort? Basically, what type of socks are you using?

Wool or coolmax socks depending on the season. I like Injinji midweight socks and liners a lot, both wool and coolmax, as well as Darn Tough, Patagonia and Smartwool. Sierra trading post often has wool socks on sale and you can't beat $9-12/pr for socks that'll last you 5+ years. If you're fine paying full price Darn Tough (or their wide fit brand Wide Open) have a lifetime replacement guarantee so the $20+ you're paying per pair is easier to swallow.

I can't stand cotton socks, they have horrible moisture management, so I'm all about wool or wicking synthetics.
