Hi all,
I'm getting blisters between my toes, and would like to try sock liners to see if they help.
I just tried to order sock liners from Injinji, but they don't ship to Canada!
Can anyone recommend similar toe-sock liners?
Thanks for your replies! I will broaden my search, AND investigate tape!
If this does not work - PM me your details and I will send you a pair from Oz - free (Christmas present). I have been using these "toe socks" for about 2 years - no blisters and I am also a strong believer in the two-sock theory - thin liner socks against your feet and thick ones against the boots.I found that Mountain Equipment Co-op ships Injinji socks, so I'm trying those right now, playing with thicknesses of socks. But there is a wool store not far from me- might be worth a visit! Thanks Skurat0!
I use Vicks Vapour Rub or vaseline, or St-John's Wort oil, but do not like liners. First, I do not like wearing socks at all, even at home when outside temps are 20 below, so the thiner the layer I can wear on my feet the better. But more importantly, the one time I did wear liners they kept bunching up on the bottom of the foot and I constantly had to remove my boots, pull up the liner ... So now no more liners, and actually no more boots. Walking in sandals, weather permitting, was my preference, that is until I started to need orthodics.The four of us in my family used Injinjis during our two weeks on the trail in 2013. The socks, plus rubbing a light coating of Vicks Vapor Rub and Petroleum Jelly onto our feet, and in between our toes, after our shower in the evening, helped us all to stay blister free. Has anyone else tried this combination? A bonus point is that your feet also smell great.
How does the Vaseline prevent blisters? Does it keep your toes from rubbing against each other?I use Vicks Vapour Rub or vaseline, or St-John's Wort oil, but do not like liners.

Get rid of your conventional socks and wear toe socks made by INJINJI via ebay i am sure someone will post for you if you ask themHi all,

a good way to prep your feet is keep rubbing in pure lanolin every night up to 4 weeks prior your trip , my choice of socks are made by injnji , no blisters with toe socksHow does the Vaseline prevent blisters? Does it keep your toes from rubbing against each other?
