I've had three pairs of new wellington boots and all three have me with

I double sock and the top pair are wet at the end of the day but the
inner pair aren't that bad so I'm ruling out perspiration.

Is this usual for wellington boots?
Am I doing something wrong?

TIA

But it is perspiration. Your over-heated feet sweat; the sweat
evaporates from your feet and condenses on the cold inside surface of
the welly boots, from where it is transferred by direct contact onto
the top pair of socks. Wear fewer socks!

I'm going to try anti-perspirant spray on my feet and anti-perspirant
socks under my thermal socks tomorrow.

The first pair made the outer socks wet and dirty with mud so I think I
can safely say that they were leaking.

I can't wear fewer socks as I have Achilles heel problems and I need to
pad them out.
