Hi,

After years of wearing Scarpa Trek boots I have changed to Meindl Burma
boots, which provide a much better fit with my orthotics. I have to say that
I am very impressed with the Meindl Burma except for one aspect, overheating
feet. I'm not a great fan of Gortex in boots, but these boots are fantastic.

In the past I have used Thorlo 'Hiker' socks which suited the wet
environment of New Zealand. However recently I have been spending time in
the European Alps during September, which is much drier and hotter than New
Zealand.

I have tried the Thorlo 'Light Hiker' socks which use 'Coolmax'. However my
feet still get relatively hot. It has been suggested that I convert my socks
over to Bridgedale 'Trail' socks, which utilise 'Isofil' rather than
'Coolmax'. Apparently Bridgedale socks provide markedly improved ventilation
and moisture wicking in Gortex lined boots than compared to Thorlo socks.

Does any one have experience with the Bridgedale 'Trail' socks combined with
Gortex lined boots? Is this pure sales talk or is there some truth to it?
