Hi,

I recently posted this: https://whiteblaze.net/forum/showthr...t=#post2294726

I would like to add some more information.

Besides the Meindl Perfect, the New Balance running shoes and the Alta Lone Peaks, I also have some experience with Salomon XA 3D Pro (non-Goretex version). I never got any backpack hiking experience with the Salomon shoes before I threw them away. I bought the Salomon due to the good reviews and I was impressed by all the mesh that should contribute to lots of air circulation and thus less hot feet. Besides rubbing on my ankle they were hot like crazy, they had no cooling effect whatsoever - and I cannot explain why.

Can anyone recommend a hiking shoe/boot with the best possible construction to fight hot/sweaty feet? Hiking sandals are basically the way to go and they truly fulfill the hot feet problem, but I need a solution where the entire foot is covered by some fabric.
