BTW, putting talc on latex socks and in the boots really helps, too.



I put a thin polypro sock over the latex socks. They stick to the latex

Good idea! I'll have to try that.


Don't you want to have the insulating layer under the latex sock? The
latex keeps the insulation dry. Maybe then a thin sock over the outside
as well to facilitate putting the boots on. Seems to me that would be
the best of both solutions, and would also help prevent hot spots if
you are doing much potaging. HYY
