I prefer 2 pairs but often have to add an insole or thicker footbed. If from your own experience you find that everyday socks are what works for you, then just stick with them (or something similar as you may want to avoid cotton). | |

But the problem still arises with: how does the sock type matter independent of how it alters the fit of the boot? Meaning I have always tried to find a boot that works with thick socks as this is what one is "supposed to wear" when hiking, but it has left me with the situation where no boot really fits. If I buy these boots I really won't be able to fine tune them with thicker socks. | |
