Couple with a good boot, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a quality sock.Kind Regards,Raimey

Funny you'd say that just now Raimey. I was just thinking about some advice I once got from an old forester down here who wore knee high lace ups with unbloused green whipcord pants every working day of his life.
He told me that if I was going to be in the woods a lot, never to wear socks at all. The sweat from your feet will soak them or you'll have to cross a creek you can't jump and they'll get wet. Once wet the socks will blister anybody's feet no matter how many callouses you've built up.
He also said only Yankees blouse their pants legs. Down here a rattler will strike and the fangs will go through boot leather, but if they hit the loose pants leg they'll pull back and not get you...Geo
Times have changed and snake boots and wick away sock material may have changed the rules on this.
