Default Sweaty feet?

I have a question for y'll:

I hate it when my feet get all sweaty on the way out and then they are cold for the rest of the hunt. I especially hate it because I wear rubber boots most of the time.

What does everybody do about this problem? Is there some sort of dr schoalls/goldbond foot spray or powder that is odor free and anti perspirant?

liner socks, i bought I think coolmax was the term for them, calf height, they pull something like 20% more moister than normal liners

and of course wool or other warm when wet style materials...

when using a stand sometimes I'll walk to my stand in just the liners in the boots, then put on my bigger warmer socks when I'm there and gonna sit for the day...seems to help somewhat.

For one thing, don't wear cotton socks. They'll retain moisture.
I wear a sacrificial pair of socks to the deerstand. When I get there, I change to a dry pair and put the damp ones in a ziplock bag for the day.

Just spray with an anti-perspirant spray.

+1 on the liner socks, I wear em under wool and it works great for me, except bow season then I just wear the liners.

I have had the same problem when I am hiking a ways to my spot.

Liners and wool are good. Now I also just bring an extra pair of socks with me, case I underestimate the cold, or something happens that results in wet feet. Nothing worse than cold feet when your trying to keep still and quiet.
