Wear a thin cotton sock under a not as thin wool sock and your feet will be much better all the way around. The wool helps keep the moisture away from the cotton socks and your feet. And yes, do it year round (even in the middle of the day in the middle of the summer). Your feet will thank you.

Remember, i live in a desert contry, rain comes one month a year and temp goes upto 50C (122F) in the summer! I use to buy cheap boots from the local superstore for cheap but a recent fall proved i need something to keep my foot straight

I ride in the dunes during the summer when it is more than 100 degrees, and it works like a charm. I have ridden in all conditions: sub-freezing (ice racing :evil: , high humidity, low humidity, snow, rain, mud, sand, desert, high temperatures (100+), mountains, sea level...

 

Give it a try and I bet you will be pleasently surprised. :cool:

 

BTW: The cotton sock should be very thin, not a regular athletic cotton sock, and the wool sock should be about as thick as a normal athletic sock. I was not very clear before, maybe that is why you are skeptical... :ermm:

 

I also use that combination whenever I wear any type of boot or thick shoe (such as a hiking shoe) and blisters are never a problem as well.
