[QUOTE="AJ, post: 159832"] I agree with this. I doubt that pack weight has much to do with blisters. Ill fitting footwear and dampness are more likely culprits. As for breaking in boots, this is something I have not found to be necessary these days because of the Gore-Tex linings most boots I have worn seem to have. Toughening feet seems to be an effective way (for me) of limiting blisters. I bought new boots from Decathon in Bilbao this year and had no trouble with them. They had Gore-Tex lining and my feet were well toughened from having already walked two months. [/QUOTE]
