[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 2242104, member: 112246"] Love your comments. I really do think STUDDED NEOS can’t be beat as an overshoe and the proper way to dress the feet for potential mountain snow conditions. And, in my opinion, is one of the best ways to address the true complex nature of keeping feet warm and dry ( as you have clearly illustrated ) This is my system: Thin nylon sock heavy wool blend sock. Light weight 8” boots (sometimes sneakers depending on terrain) then I put on my NEOS. I Pack away I-2 pairs of socks and 1 thick pair or wool boot liners. (mine are double lined mukluk liners that are Canadian military surplus) Any fool can be uncomfortable right! Now I’m assuming I’m not the only fella that his feet sweat while mountain trekking so; when I stop and say plan on glassing for longer then say 30-45 min I’ll often change my socks. If I’m overnight then I’ll take off the footwear and carefully put them near the fire (I never put the NEOS near the fire though) and just wear the liners but if need be can still quickly put on the NEOS. Having light weight boots/sneakers allows for quick drying and more importantly the break-in period is much quicker. in fact one could just wear bread bags over their socks and then swap out their socks when glassing. Been there done that too. Just my 2c [/QUOTE]
