Thorlos are specially designed to wick moisture away from your feet (they use a DuPont material called CoolMax) and the ones I bought have extra-cushy fabric under the ball of the foot and the heel. These should help prevent the blisters that make my WDW trips so uncomfortable! (Seriously, my dh was offering to get me a wheelchair -- I had 15 blisters on one trip alone!)

They make them for walking, running, hiking, etc. and lots of folks on these boards swear by them! They're not cheap (retail around $11-$13/pair) but if they prevent blisters, it'll be worth it! :)

After reading these boards I bought a pair of these socks and the do work good. I paid $8.00 at a sporting good store then after reading a tip on another day someone said that TJMax had them for $3.99. I went and purchased them there for $3.99. you may want to check TJMax if you have one near you. We are do to go to WDW in Aug. We have been doing a lot of walking to get in shape to go and the socks work great. Thanks to whoever had the tip about TJMax.
