Greetings, How would these socks work for all day walking in a hot climate? Thanks

These socks seem to have a little more wool in them and because of this, are wonderfully warm in the winter. In fact, they are my favorite winter sock. I would, however, pick something cooler for a hot climate. In my opinion, Balega's are better suited for hot temperatures.

They were bought for my grandson to wear when he played in marching band from August through December in the hot Florida sun. They have helped him greatly. I recently purchased several additional pairs

I primarily used these socks while traveling throughout Southeast Asia in hot and humid conditions. Sometimes for multiple days without washing. The were fantastic. Highly recommended for all day walking.

They work great for this. They wick away sweat very well. They are thin, but still have sufficient padding for comfort.Also, they are very durable. I've had two pairs of these for a couple years now and they're still in great shape. I just bought two more pairs in black for my new job. I'm a letter carrier doing walking routes. So around 10 miles a day.

Although, I have not used these extensively at that temperature. I have walked outside with these pants on in the mornings around 40F and have felt fine. Hope that helps.

The only thing that works for me is l is if I wear "Injinji 2.0 Unisex Liner Crew Toesocks" as a first sock layer. No I don't work for them. I wear wool usually on the outside and then I can walk anywhere.

Yes, they do stretch a little especially in hotter weather. Try wearing thick socks to speed it up a little.

Hello, Yes, I wear them for daily wear as well as running. My impression is that my feet stay a little more dray and warm than in regular wool socks. The only downside is that they are low so your ankles will show if your pants aren't long enough.

I walk a lot, and they were still comfortable as far as heat was concerned. But I don't really know if these are considered breathable.

I don't know if they're considered running socks as they aren't heavily padded. I use them for walking 3-5 miles and they work great! My running socks are thicker for more cushion during the run, but if you don't feel the need for extra padding then these would work just fine.

Hi!It's hard to compare these with socks woolen socks, because unfortunately I did not have warm woolen socks :-(But I can tell you that they have enough heat at a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius in heavy leather shoes with steel toes, which have the property very good "absorb" cold.

Yes. I wear mine inside and outside. I am usually in my office and always have cold feet. That is until i wear my Heat Holder socks. If I wear anything else, I really feel the difference. You will be happy with these socks

They add very little bulk, so they should fit well under tighter shoes. But, as a word of caution and in response to the reviewers who said the socks did not help keep their feet warm, you need to be aware of one of the principals in effect for warmth; you need to isolate a layer of warm air next to your skin. So, if you do not allow enough room around the socks, the warming effect will be greatly minimized.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

I think the pant not suitable for a very hot climate (hot and humid) place.It's medium thickness,not very light weight,but good bresthable.

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

Yes, I love these socks because they are not thick and hot! The first pair I got for my daughter to play softball in (called an all-sports socks at the athletic store) were thick and very hot. These socks are what I would call "performance" material: thick enough to provide protection from blisters, etc., but made of polyester blend the forms to the foot and is much cooler. I really like these socks!

I have used them in early spring only. My overall results are positive. Comfortable, dry feet (sox only,no shoes). Can't say how your feet will do over land in warmer weather.

My dad said his feet don't sweat in them and said they breath pretty well for being so warm. Not sure how they would do with genetically sweaty feet though.

I'm sorry but I have never worn wool socks nor gone skiing. This is my first time needing warmer socks. I am in my 60's and have just recently begun having cold feet. I notice that after I wear them in slippers or shoes for several hours, some perspiration seems to accumulate inside the socks and causes my feet to be less warm, although still way better than it would be with regular cotton socks.
