Gore-Tex I think does not have wool in
it
Pricey but good
You may want to send them an email to see if they have

very allergic to wool, I can’t even wear them with other socks as a liner.
So you can imagine the difficulty I have in finding warm socks that aren’t
wool. I’ve resorted to wearing heavy hiking socks with the air activated
toe or foot warmers whenever the temps drop below 50. They stay warm
for well over 8 hours. I also figure they might come in handy for whomever
we are searching for – so I carry extras and the waist/back warmers and hand
warmers just in case. Any
recommendations for warm non-wool socks are appreciated!

Beardsley For what its
worth: I ride in hiking
boots. Whatever kind fits me well and supports me when I hike. The kind that
have strong ankle support and a deep tread for great traction when I'm on foot.
I feel that being equipped with good hiking footwear is critical when on
SAR missions. We never know when we'll end up on foot for an extended
period. Now I realize that
many people can go on and on about the need for smooth leather soles to meet
safety criteria. Safety is important! But instead of changing my footwear, I
change my stirrups. I have smooth metal stirrups on my saddles so that I can
wear safe functional footwear and still maintain a high safety level. This way,
if I end up riding several miles before dismounting to perform some, say,
tracking duties, I have no need to change footwear. And I'm a SmartWool fan, so
there's no doubt about what kind of socks I
wear. Safe
