[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 1138279, member: 31995"] I've seen them here in Toronto. They are lighter, thinner, smooth socks worn inside heavier hiking socks. I think there are a couple of ideas of why they might be helpful: - they can wick moisture away from the feet, which can help reduce blisters - the friction that the hiking sock may put on the foot, creating a blister, is instead expended on the liner (sort of like the double-layer Wright socks, except with two pairs of socks instead of one double layer pair) These advantages need to be weighed against - the additional weight (not a huge concern for me, as liners are light, but if you are the type of person cutting off tags and drilling holes in your toothbrush to save weight...) - the additional insulation/heat if you are walking in a hot season [/QUOTE]
