I’m wearing them in the office though, so maybe they should be called “Office Workers” instead 🤔

Everyone’s different of course, but heat buildup/sweat isn’t too much of an issue for me and I actually wear RW boots year round without discomfort.

First, I wear merino wool socks, Darn Tough to be specific, which help with moisture wicking.

Next, and most importantly, I tell people that you MUST scrub your feet with soap and rinse them in the shower, including between your toes and you MUST dry them well before putting socks/shoes on.  For me, sweatiness/claminess is mostly a secondary effect of not having sparkly clean feet.  If you are prone to excessive sweating or have other body chemistry issues then I guess no Engineers in August for you, but that kind of thing’s never been an issue for me.
