Not usually, I guess that could be the issue. Nylon socks used to chafe my feet, but now that my feet are much more calloused, I'll try again.

I know two local folks I climb with on regular basis that have and wear those as their reg ice boots.
They love em.
Contact this young lad kellendv as he has them as well and seems to be very satisfied with them.
