[pct-l] moleskin

[Phil Baily]

You sound exactly like my wife. I, however, use moleskin very 
successfully and rarely have the movement problem. You and my wife 
apparently have the wrong skin!

More seriously, her solution is to use lamb's wool. Dr. Scholl's 
brand is available in most pharmacies. In our area, Rite-Aid has 
their own brand for a lower price. Staying in place between the toes 
is not a problem. I use it there. In other locations, she says the 
sock keeps it in place.

Good luck with it, and happy trails!
