After switching to running shoes and lightweight socks years ago, I stopped getting blisters. I don't mean fewer blisters. I mean haven't had one blister since I switched. Not even after a 110-mile 7-day trek in the Rockies, for example.
The socks I use are nylon dress socks from Wal-Mart. Cheap, and less than an ounce per pair. After using these for years now, my feet won't tolerate heavier, hotter socks. Even on colder trips I save the thick socks for sleeping only.
So which work best for the rest of you?
