17,000 vertical feet. One pair of Fox River socks. Zero blisters...
King's Canyon National Park...7 days...75 miles...50-lb. pack...541 photos...17,000 vertical feet...one pair of Fox River socks...zero blisters...not even a hot spot! Wow! My friend with whom I was backpacking struggled with blisters the entire trip. He wasn't wearing the magic socks. . .One aspect that was different was the fact I had to virtually peel the socks off my feet at the end of the day. We speculated that the friction was between the sock and the boot, not the socks and my feet. A beauty of backpacking is conversations like these...pondering the basics of life. At any rate, I put my socks on in the morning, tied my boots and didn't bother with either again until we stopped hiking at day's end.
