So just to clarify, for regular "good weather" hiking, I might wear a thin liner sock (wool or otherwise) and light cushion wool sock. This would go in a non-goretex rugged trail running shoe.

If it's going to be occasionally wet but not cold, I won't wear goretex socks but wear the above and just bring an extra pair of socks. They can dry out at night , or on the trail as I walk.

Only if it's going to be cold AND wet, then I would wear Goretex socks over the liners, and it doesn't matter if I sweat more inside the goretex sock because it was going to be wet anyway?

Thanks.
