[QUOTE="mattythedog, post: 1094990, member: 97945"] I have only used 2 pairs of smart wool low ankle hikers plus one pair coolmax liners OR 2 pairs of darn tough low ankle hikers plus one pair coolmax liners on my caminos for ease of washing and the benefits of marino wool. The smart wool are softer and a bit more comfortable that the slightly coarser darn toughs, but on my first walking camino, one pair of the smart wools wore right through in 2 weeks. Last 4 Caminos I used the smart wools and made sure to get equal time on both pairs for no wear-through. I only use the liners at end of day or if hot spot starts. Great thing about the smart wools is that if my feet get totally soaking wet from rain or puddles, I can just wring them out and put them back on. They will then feel like a dry pair of socks. When/if the rain stops, then I put on the actual dry pair. I wash them each day and they are nearly always dry by morning. Even if they are a little damp, they are still fully wearable. I do use vaseline between my toes every day which ironically moisturize the skin, but also waterproofs the skin for those wet days. I never got blisters on the caminos and have only needed to duct-tape hot spots a handful of times. Smart wools never were greasy at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
