[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 280398, member: 10982"] I am interested in [LIST] [*]testing the proposition that liner socks are not the most prevalent method for reducing/eliminating blisters, [*]whether pilgrims who have walked the camino, or other walkers with long distance, multi-day walking experience, are satisfied with the treatments they used. [/LIST] At the time I am writing this, there are 29 responses, probably still too few to draw firm conclusions. Petroleum based lubricants have established themselves as being the most prevalent single method of prevention, but are matched by a combination of the two physical separation techniques - taping and the use of tubes, hikers wool and toe socks. Liner socks and similar multi-layer approaches are third, with a clear majority of respondents using these. Foot powders are used by a relatively small number of the respondents. There appears to be a significant minority of respondents who are prepared to contemplate trying a different approach. The question doesn't test dissatisfaction with the current treatment, although that could be a factor for those seeking to make a change. The other factor that would need to be considered is that the group of respondents are more open to testing new approaches. [/QUOTE]
