    Default Some really good resources on blister prevention and treatment

    I recently picked up the latest edition of Fixing Your Feet and highly recommend it. But, for those who want the reader's Digest version, here are some quality resources.

    Or just but Wrightsocks. Guaranteed blisterfree. Patented sewn in liner. Wear out your socks, not your feet.

    I ordered some Wright socks to give them a try.My Darn Tuffs dont fit quite as well as the Smart Wools do but the SW's seem a bit hot.I'm curious as to how many wear a liner or not,and if so,what kind,synthetic or wool,and why?

    I'm a huge fan of Wright socks but they do wear out quickly, at least for me.
