Socks help protect your
feet from blisters and the cold. Hikers and walkers often
like to wear a combination of a thin liner sock and a heavier
over sock. This combination helps to reduce friction on your
feet, minimizing potential blisters. A polypropylene or wool/poly
blend is best. Polypro helps to wick the moisture away from
you feet. Cotton tends to absorb the moisture and keep it
near your skin. Damp skin is more likely to blister or develop
hot spots.
There are many choices of sock
design these days. Speciality socks are made for hiking, walking,
rollerblading, running, etc. Check out our retailers
guide to find out how much you've been missing by only
having plain old boring socks.
