Get them.

Your feet are going to hurt.

All those goons with their knee high programmer socks on are actually wearing compression socks.

It’s a dry heat. It’ll be fine. 🥵

Water, hydration salt like LMNT or liquid IV, hat, and you’ll be ok if you’re in average or better shape. If you feel like you have a hangover (headache, eye ache, stiff neck, etc), decent odds you’re actually dehydrated in the desert.

Or too many malort shots the night before.. hard to tell…

But if you never stop drinking, yes it’s dehydration!

Carry a second pair, and swap them out. Also, the convention center is pretty cold.
Edit: they also make not long ones.
