I walk 30 mins or so to my stand. I've had the same problem. I walk to my stand (which is for the whole day)in reg cotton socks ,yea there wet when I get to my stand, then I change them to a liner sock then a wool sock. You don't want tight boots. Most people make the mistake of pulling there boot strings so tight that it will cut circulation off to your feet. Keep your boot laces loose while your on your stand. This should help it did for me . Mike
