The dreaded socks

Vicks seems to be quite popular, so I will give it a go. Just got some hilly socks and wore them today, although only for a short walk but they felt comfortable and feet did not burn on bottoms.

The dreaded socks

Yes my husband wears work boots usually during the day for his job, so I think his feet are used to boots. I work in an office so wear heels! I have just ordered some Hilly running socks to try so will update when I have tried them.

The dreaded socks

Just another question - I have had some orthotics fitted for arch support and they are really comfy, but my feet get a bit warm. Has anyone used thin gel soles on top before?

The dreaded socks

I am not sure about Vaseline. I have used it on both caminos and had blisters. My husband uses it and never gets a blister. As my feet get so hot very quickly I just want to ensure I do everything o can to try to avoid blisters. It's difficult because at home although my feet get hot on...

The dreaded socks

Thank you this is very useful. I have bought some moleskin for hotspots. In the past I have probably ignored early signs of blisters and then last year made the mistake of using compeed plaster. It started to wrinkle and come off and then when I removed it my blister was much worse. I am...

Hi walked fron Leon to Santiago last August and this July we are going from St Jean to Leon. Last year I sufered blisters and plantar fasciitis and ended up buying some hiking sandals. They did the trick and I was able to walk 15 plus miles per day but they did not have enough arch support...

Worried Newbie.

What is so annoying is that they have discontinued Chameleon arcs that I have. Has anyone got the Merrel Siren ventilator mid gtx mxr - they look good and look like they have good support plus good shock absorption.

Worried Newbie.

I have a problem. My Merrell Chameleon arc boots have worn soles, so I purchased a pair of Merrell Azura which are really comfortable. However the ankle support is not as good and my ankle has been sore from wearing them. Now we go on 15 August so not much time. I do have a pair of leather...
