[pct-l] Socks for hiking

[Freiman, Paul]

Thanks for the recommendations.  I like the REI socks, but every time I wear Smart Wool I get blisters.

I also recommend the Injinji toe socks. And I also agree they wear out amazingly fast. They make both an all wool and a blend and I've not determined which wears out the fastest. Even so, it's worth it to me to pay the price because my feet don't get hot and I no longer get blisters on my toes.
