Has anyone on the list tried Blundstone boots? They are from 
Australia, waterproof leather, very reasonable price, available inthe 
US. Or so I read, I haven't yet tried them myself.The website is

        About athlete's foot, I have some success at controlling it with 
a homemade cream of olive oil and beeswax. I think petroleum jelly 
might work too. The rationale is to keep the air off the skin, as the 
fungus needs air and dampness to grow. And it's hard to keep 
dampness away, as we know. I've heard of people putting their 
feet in plastic bags too. Who knows? I'd try the polypro sockliners 
first, but if they don't work for you,maybe you want to try these 
ideas?
