Which socks to prevent blisters?

[Itsmekat]

Not a sock recommendation, but I’ve found using a spray antiperspirant on my feet helps prevent blisters. I’m a runner and AP holder here in Florida and do that if I’m going to be in sneakers for more than a couple hours. Alternately, I wear tevas and don’t have blister issues.

I love the socks by Ecco and Saucony. I tend to get blisters on the bottoms of my feet if I don’t rotate shoes twice a day. I wear Brooks Glycerin with custom orthotics and rotate into Birkinstock Mayari and Merrell Terran Post sandals. Also I throw in an odd choice of Vans to break up wearing tennis shoes all day. Haven’t had a blister at WDW since I started this.

I am blister prone. I would bet them every trip. Years ago Feetures socks were recommended to me on this board and no more blisters!! They are worth the price.

I also like to wear Croc Athens or Birkenstocks. I don’t get blisters in those either.

I recommend using hydrocolloid gel bandages on any areas that may blister/have already blistered. I’ve always had great luck with these. I’ve also liked bringing a second pair of socks to be able to change into a dry pair midway through the day.

Discovered the double layer socks when I was running marathons and swear by them for theme parks. Pricey, but I'm still wearing pairs I bought years ago (I've found the color socks tend to wear out faster than the all white socks).

Rotating shoes is also a great tip.

Injinji Ultra-Run Toe Socks are fantastic if your problem is humidity & friction. Before I discovered them I had to pre-wrap most of my toes with bandaids before I even started any serious walking, just to delay the blisters for a couple days.

Second this ........... did this last trip daily and 0 blisters or sore spots even when walking 30k steps a day .... shoes are always Asics with some added gel insoles. Can get a small can at a dollar store.
