I just got a pair of leather thigh-high boots, and I'm loooooving wearing them to the club. I wear socks under them that go to just under my knees, but they're (the boots) making my legs sweat so much that every time I get home, they're damp inside to the point of being wet. They have a really intricate lace-up style for the thigh part, and then under that at knee-level is the zipper, so I can't leave them fully open to dry or anything. The first few days, I tried leaving them open as much as possible, but it still didn't help and so now I blow dry them. But this just means I'm effectively drying in the sweatI don't know if there's some kind of wipe I could use on the insides first before I blow dry them, or if there's something else that soaks up moisture (I know newspapers help when you get your sneakers wet), or if maybe I need thicker socks, although that would make me sweat more too.
Any ideas? I really appreciate it - I love the boots to death but they're driving me nuts being all wet every freaking night and I wanna get on it before they start smelling or something!

I would wipe it out with a sponge put in warm soapy water a few times. After this you might be able to spray a mixture of tea tree oil and water on it...I'm sure there's a more powerful mixture you could do but it's evading my brain at the moment.
