[pct-l] sock choice

[yogilists at hotmail.com (yogi yogi)]

I am a huge fan of New Balance shoes for the PCT.  The socks I wear are 
Ultimax Wigwam Liner Socks.  I only wear one pair of socks.  In my opinion, 
thick cushiony socks are unnecessary on the PCT.  They simply keep your feet 
too hot and sweaty.  If you need cushion, then replace the shoe insole with 
something thicker.

My footwear combination is this:  New Balance shoes which are 1 - 1.5 sizes 
larger than the shoes I wear at home.  I replace the insole with Spenco 
Hiker/Casual Insoles.  I wear one pair Ultimax Wigwam Liner Socks.  I carry 
two extra pair of socks and change them often, usually three times per day.  
I rinse the socks out whenever possible.

And I never get blisters.
