Re: Gear Talk: Shoes and socks.. up to the knee.

Thorlos are great socks. I think all my current thick socks came from Wal Mart. A thin liner sock and thick non-cotton socks work well, although I currently have black nails on the #4 toe of each foot from where the sock seams put pressure on them. I'll be looking for liners with flat seams!

I got some OR Crocodiles gaitors a few years ago. They are great in rain or snow or bushwhacking, but bad hiking a trail because they don't breathe well. A lot of people like the very short gaitors for trails to keep small rocks out of your boot. I'm o.k. without them.
