Chuckle.
We are just back from 8 weeks continuous walking on the Via Alpina Purple
route in the European Alps. Wet feet were quite normal at times, for days on
end, up and down mountains. ZERO blisters.

But we use thick wool socks and light joggers which fit and *are wide
enough*. Ill-fitting footwear and stiff heavy boots are the source of most
foot problems in my experience.
