rei and campmor both sell them. You local outdoor store too.

Look under liners  or socks or silk

Typical is Wigwam Stetech Solaris silk liker socks  75% pure silk and 25%
nylon.
Buy 23 or more 9.00 each  or buy 1 at $9.50 to test.page 115

sierra trading post 18007134534 Has Terramar midweight 65% nylon and 35%
nylon mid calf height if you like them high  Number 11224K at $5.00.

Since I like my shocks shorter I go with the Wig's.

I think rei had a pair.


Also on http://members.aol.com/hikenet and look under links and equipment
and you can play surfing the net as other other suppliers are listed.

Hope that helps.  Actually I did one tiny blister when my feet got wet and
puckered. Soft skin = blisters.  If needed on put on "seals" to keep feet
dry. You can walk in
water in them :)
