Lol Kevin my feet would rot with liners! I've tried them a few times, man it just makes my feet sweat profusely. Normally even in my work boots working a 12-14 hour shift my socks are almost dry, though not always with cotton. The dt's are just too dog gone warm for indoors for me. They were great when I was inside/outside and generally soaked most of the day before I took a job change here a few years back. It was the one part on my body that didn't get cold with them on!
I sure wish I could KEEP them from shrinking, I have more than a few pairs now. They don't shrink enough to go holy crap that's infant size ...like when ma likes washing my wool undies when I'm home on vacation, we still crack up over this one. My little brother loves it! But they do shrink enough to be slightly snug which in turn creates cold feet! ymmv, my guess is foot shape and the size sock you have. The simple solution for me was to buy larger socks than I thought I needed. They are imho also marked wrong....a 10 is not a 10 unless you have narrow feet than maybe they'll fit fine. If I go with 10's my feet freeze inside a heated house brand new in the package!
I'll be picking up a few pairs of those mountineerings. I have a pile of the hunting boot socks, tried the coolmax for work no joy, and 2 other pairs of dt's.
I do prefer them over the heavier socks for august hunts up here. Smart wools mid august are too much usually. I do the same swap out at some point throughout the day.
Don't get me wrong here they are absolutely great socks! They just have some quirks to them, or at least with my fat feet they do
