[QUOTE="Saint Mike II, post: 464596, member: 20994"] Hola [USER=64253]@Rossco[/USER]; again some good to great advice from the Camino Family Foot Centre!!?? I have tried a number of techniques - the thin liner / thick (or at least thicker) outer which works well. I have also tried the toe liner socks - the idea behind is that it keeps your toes apart and stops them rubbing on each other so [I][B]should[/B][/I] reduce the blisters. Boot/shoe fitting is most important - the toe box room is one I definitely endorse (I have size 11 UK and EE/EEE (wide to very wide foot) so [I][B]room[/B][/I] for my toes and across the lower arch (front) is a MUST. I am currently trialing the previously recommended "lizard skin" liner socks (you wear them inside out); the seams are on the outside and hence do not cause rubbing. They are OK in cool to warm days but I think on very warm to hot days they may cause moisture build up - I still wear my thicker outer socks - I need the extra cushioning. The one [I][B]special[/B][/I] piece of advice I have been given and has been repeated on the Forum - at least every two hours stop and take your boots AND socks off whilst you take a drink and eat your snack, your feet then have a chance to breath and cool off and the socks can also air - even if its just 10 or 15 mins. So you are welcome to use any of this advice or ignore it as you see fit. The one piece of advice I do strongly recommend - make sure your boots/walking shoes are fully broken-in well before you start your Camino. Cheers; Buen Camino. [/QUOTE]
