[QUOTE="Former member 92300, post: 1143407"] What works - really varies for each individual. That is why it is so important to buy your shoes/socks and train in them in advance. Sounds like that unfortunate woman didn't do her research and long distance training to find the right shoe/sock combination for her. Me? I have no need to carry an extra pair of walking shoes. I wear my trail runners and my only spare shoe is my evening teva or xero sandals. I selected them because they are lightweight, can be worn around town, can even be worn in the shower if needed, AND - in a pinch - I can hike in them (but I have to wear socks or I will blister). My perfect shoe is an altra lone peak trail runner, sized up. My perfect sock to go with my perfect shoe is injinji toe socks paired with either injinji or darn tough cushioned merino wool sock. I don't put an ointments on my feet. I don't change my socks during the day unless they become too wet on a rainy or otherwise wet day. I don't remove my shoes and socks during the day to air out my feet. I don't alternate my hiking shoe. It works great for me - when I wear my altra lone peaks sized up with injinji toe socks and injinji or darn tough cushioned merino wool sock. But that is what works for ME. [/QUOTE]
