[QUOTE="Peter Robins, post: 2111, member: 39"] yes, I think that's wise :-) I'm afraid nothing is ideal. Go to a quality outdoor gear shop, and they should be able to advise you. The principle of both the 2 layers of socks and the Vaseline is the same: to dissipate the friction that causes blisters. If you wear 1 layer, the sweaty sock sticks to both your foot and the shoe, pulling your skin in various different directions at once -> blister. With 2 layers, 1 sticks to your foot and the other to the shoe - or at any rate that's the theory. With Vaseline the sock is less likely to stick to your foot. But again, nothing is perfect. I personally dislike having my feet coated with vaseline, but some people swear by it. Take it easy to start with. After some time walking, your feet will harden, making blisters less likely.
