What socks to wear to prevent blisters

[Krischaser]

Last time I went to Disney I got bad blisters. Trying to prevent that this time. I bought mole skin. Now looking for socks to help. Some say toe socks so toes do not rub and others say Bombas are great too. I have hokas and on cloud shoes along with flip flops that are cushioned. I do not want any blisters this time. Any tips?

I had the same problem years ago because my feet sweat a lot, so I invested in wicking socks made especially for walking (padded in different places). I bought low-cut walking socks from Thorlo and as well as several pairs of Smartwool crew socks. I also began bringing 2-3 pairs of shoes so that I could wear a different pair each day, and they had time to dry out between wearings. I haven’t had blisters since then.

I put cloth adhesive tape on my feet anywhere I am prone to blisters, the type that has the smooth almost shiny surface. The sock moves against the tape instead of my skin and I don’t get blisters anymore. I get really bad ones on the balls of my feet if I don’t tape them up. I never found a specific type of sock that made any difference in my case. Changing shoes doesn’t really help me either as it’s the way I walk that causes the problem. Good luck in your quest for happy feet!
