I'd go cotton wool, just so that the cotton won't move as much against your feet causing blisters.
But personally I would only wear one pair at a time

cheers

Use a ankle length cotton sock and a knee length woollen sock. This stops the wollen sock from slipping down your foot.
Well it does for me not that I do it that often.

You don't have to rub it in,
Willem has done enough of it over the past couple of weeks.

Are you towing the Car Trailer to bring the broken down Chevnissan home ;)))

No Thir!

Wouldn't think of such a demeaning thing, I'll just 'skull drag' the coota out to the main road where it can be recovered by private enterprise.

I think I best shut up while I am still up and running - can you imagine the embarrassment if it is/was the other way around.

I would have to get Pesty to do the Biz. (LOL)

After a swig or three of Willems white lightning.

Wool will still keep your feet warm when wet, cotton will make your feet cold when wet, wear wool socks and take a spare set. Cotton [denim jeans, T shirts etc] is dangerous in wet and cold conditions it has no insulation effect when wet and will just suck the warmth out of you, a quick route to exposure in my opinion, Rhys.

i was hoping the cotton would act as a sponge and the wool act as a pump with the whole system coming together to "pump" out the water in the shoe...

i may need a third material to act as mud filter too....

Which sock do you put on first?

Well I don't know but this I do know. You can't put your left sock on first.

Think about it and get back to me.

A lot of bush walkers & hikers layer their socks, the thin moisture wicking one goes on first then the thicker warmer one over the top.

If youve got NO sense of humour Bazza your making the right choice ! Hate to have to work with ya...

I own a pair and i fully endorse them,feet end up like toast,Although i don't get paid too...In New Zealand they have become such a feral pest (introduced species) that nearly every 2 kms of driving their is one or two squashed on the road...I think its a great that they use them wisely...The councils even let you drown them legally...

it could mean I had just forgot which layer to put on first -

and i reckon ya mad if you want to wear just one pair of socks .. when you get a good system going like layered cotton and wooll that actiully works against the wet youl wonder what other magic is in the natural world...

when you do, just remember, darn it!, put the cotton ones on first!...
