[QUOTE="jemitch65, post: 246011, member: 14177"] All good advice but I will tell you what worked for me. I left SJPdP with Salomon 4DGTX hiking boots, Smartwool socks (medium or higher, not sure) and a liner sock. This all added up to moisture trapped in my boot which caused my feet to move about inside resulting in blisters. By the 5th day, I was blistering on both feet and by day 7 and just before Torres del Rio, I was flat out on my bottom on the Camino. Thankfully, my Australian friend with 3 previous Caminos and a wealth of information assessed my condition. Wrong socks! I tossed the liners out and he gave me two pair of his own socks; a lightweight acrylic/polyester blend which worked perfectly. Listen to your feet. If you have a hot spot...stop, remove your shoe and examine the problem before you get a blister. If you do have a blister, draining it and taping it is vital. When you have arrived at your albergue, remove your shoes and bandage and air dry your blisters. They will heal quicker I promise. [/QUOTE]
