Sock liners

gandar · December 14th, 2005, 02:56

I'm using the same pair of insoles I use for my other boots, I can't recall the name of them, but the top is lime green and they're made of white foam stuff, they're nice because they do wonders for support, but they don't take up much room, I got them at Athlete's World. I'll check the name tomorrow.

I use the blue superfeet insoles my self, but i hear spenco's are the cat's meow.

Yeoman · December 14th, 2005, 03:37

I loath the issued socks. if I have to I wear the green liners with the green socks and even then that's extremely rare these days.
I wear alot of wigwams in the winter time, and fox river in the summer.
as well; mkIII are garbage. at least attempt to get a vibram sole chit, your feet will thank you.
you don't need a liner if you're wearing a good pair of socks. I'll wear a liner sock (the black issued one works good for me) when I'm wearing mukluks, but other then that. spend the extra money and get the socks I mentioned.
alot of people I know also use athletic socks under their army socks; maybe you'd want to try that as well?

Fox River socks kick ass. But my feet are big enough that they stretch the XL socks and liners nice and snug, they're mega comfy and they don't chafe. I'm looking at getting my MK3s resoled before I go away for the summer on course....

Oh, and from last night (I was exhausted and mildly intoxicated... Yay Officers Christmas Mess) the insoles say "tensecond.com" on the bottom... I assume that's the brand. They're nice though, I've been using them for a year now.

the second link is for the ultra version im just wondering if these will be too tight for the MkIIIs causing me more blisters again

Yeoman · December 17th, 2005, 22:56

I've got those.
I like em, I've been trying out different types of foot soles the last while to see what's the best out there. so far the best have been those green insoles that has the arch support in it.

Orochi · December 18th, 2005, 22:24

which one do you have? the regular one or the ultra one? do they make a tight fit in the MkIII?
thanks

Yeoman · December 19th, 2005, 12:37

wouldn't be able to tell you of mrkIII as I don't ever wear them.
you have plenty of room in the goretex though.
I just never got wowed by them really.

Orochi · December 19th, 2005, 20:46

Yeoman · December 19th, 2005, 21:04

Sorry fellas, I know I'm hopping on this one a bit late. AFAIK CoolMax is just a brand name for Polypro that feels a bit more like cotton. You can also use silk sock liners, I've had good luck with them, but make sure you use a bit thicker outer sock with the silk ones, because they'll wear away faster. I don't buy a lot of "hi-speed" socks, mainly just a good pair of Merino wool or Smart wool. They've always done me pretty good as a hiker, but I'm not in the military yet and my socks don't look like military issued socks... So hopefully I could be of SOME use.

Dude, you don't get any higher speed than smart wool. Comfiest damn socks I've ever worn.

I use the same socks as I wear when snowboarding "Hot Chillies", you can find them at most highend sport and apparel shops. Just ask for "Hot Chillies"... They don't come cheap, but they have 0% cotton.
