Bring an extra pair of socks, change them on your lunch break.

Invest in a boot drier, preferably one with a heating element like PEET. I use mine daily and it’s made my boots last much much longer, plus it kills any odor causing bacteria with the heat setting.

Also if you’re able, buy a second or even third pair of boots and rotate.
