There are a wide variety of riding socks to choose from. Almost every gear company makes them with a fabric called Coolmax. I have a pair of Alpinestars with Coolmax and they really do keep your feet and calfs cool. It is strange how they work, but once you put them on you can feel it. Check out your favorite riding gear company to get a pair.

As for the blisters, that is a telltale sign of poor fitting boots or improper adjustment. I have never ever gotten a blister from riding boots before. You can get a cotton pad and tape off the area you get the blisters to help. I recently started using cut up pieces of band aid pads and waterproof first aid tape on my hands and I get no more blisters! I decided to try it one day riding and it helped a ton :D
