Breathability covers more than just keeping your feet cool. If our feet cannot breathe they will sweat and this means moisture build up and will make your socks wet. Wet socks will not only cause discomfort but this can lead to the sock causing friction and eventually painful blisters and sometimes athletes foot. This is exactly what hikers are looking to avoid. Another resulting problem from lack of breath-ability is that wet socks can lead to creating an environment in which bacteria can breed and this means not just foot odor but also potential infections. Often hikers will step into water which at times can enter into the hiking boot and breath-ability means that this water has a route out from inside the boot, it can exit through the process of natural evaporation. A good pair of boots should include vents which allow water to drain in the event it does get into the boot. However, breath-ability is another way which water and moisture can exit the boot. But thanks to the Danner Mountain Light ii, which come 100% waterproof you will never have these problems again, and you can't even have the excuse “what if they were to rip?” because the company will reconstruct anything that stands in your way of the boots being less than perfect.
