Dan,
 
Don't feel bad. You're not the only one wearing liners over wool hiking socks. I wear 'em and just happen to think they're more comfortable.
 
My son, on the other hand, is firmly in the camp of Smartwool socks and no liners. So be it.
 
Hike on!

I am surprised to learn that other hikers still use liners and wool socks. On my last two treks to Philmont, I was the only one in our crew using sock liners. Everyone else prefers the Smartwool type wool/synthetic socks. I tried sock liners with the mohair socks recommended by John LeBlanc last summer. What John did not describe about these socks is that they are just about knee-high socks. Our Scouts got a good laugh at the old guy with the knee socks (pushed down to the top of my boots), until a storm came in and it began to hail. While they were shivering or overheating with rainpants on, I just pulled my warm socks up to my knees, put on my rainjacket and hiked in comfort.Dan PrestonLouisville, KYOn Jul 2, 2007, at 8:53 AM, Joe Simonis wrote:> FWIW, I used to swear by these before going to Philmont, but on an > extended trip they took a lot longer to dry out than a separate > sock/liner combo, and tended to get harder to put on and take off as > they funkified throughout the week.
