[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Vol 4, Issue 31

[Paul Cronshaw]

Jim,

I used two pairs of Injinji Performance Mini-crew socks with a set Patagonia liners on my Section A hike. Since I am prone to blisters between my toes. Worked like a charm, no blisters after 110 miles. 
 
One Injinji pair on my feet and the other hanging on my pack to dry.  Changed them out during each rest stop.  A Ray Jardine recommendation.

My only complaint is that I bought white socks, and they tend to show the dirt. :(

Subject: [pct-l] Bad Socks/Good Socks

Greetings,

I recently posted a question about socks. Since then I have been 
testing two different sock brands:

Injinji Tetratsok Crew (CoolMax)
Bad socks. Big hole the first time I wore them. I liked what they did 
for my toes, but cannot afford to hire someone to carry socks for me.

Keen Bellingham Crew Lite
Good socks. Seems simple. A sock designed for the left foot, and one 
designed for the right. I can tell the difference. Drawbacks: $16.95/ 
pair. If you lose one, you've lost the pair. And I'll admit it. One 
day my toes felt pinched. I had put the left sock on the right foot, 
etc.
