Location: illinois | Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience? When the temperatures rise,I get a rash on my legs in the area of my socks and boots. It is red and itchy and looks rather bad. I have tried different socks,now thinking of changing out my boots. I just hate to since they are barely broken in. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they found something that works. |

Location: Northern Utah | My wife gets a rash in the summer months. Some people just seems to have skin disorders that become active when it gets hot. I doubt it's your boots, go see a dermatoligist and get a professional opinion |

Location: Texas | Many of us who compete at distance rides seem to get it once and awhile. I will second the Gold Bond powder ahead of time. It will help prevent it, or have it not be as bad . ;-)
It seems to pop up more when its a bit humid and hot.
I use the Diabetic socks, Dr. Sholls brand, from Walmart. They don't fit as tight on the legs, but have good foot padding |

Location: illinois | Went riding today and tried the gold bond powder. It worked!! The temps were in the mid to upper 80's so I'm sure I would of had a rash. Thanks so much for your advice. |
