Changing your socks frequently won't help much, but it will help protect your feet from blisters and "hot spots" (areas that aren't quite abraded enough to blister, but which become painful and sore enough that you don't want to walk.)

Breaking in boots and shoes is extremely important in you are living life on foot. Infantry soldiers are issued two pairs of boots. They are supposed to alternate boots every other day. When you first get a pair of combat boots, you soak them in water, beat them with a wooden-handled scrub brush, put on two pairs of clean, woolen, combat socks, tuck two spare pair into your belt, and go for a walk. Halfway through, you stop, take off the boots, switch socks to two dry pairs and walk back. As the boots dry, they begin to mould to your feet.

On the second day, you do this to the second pair of boots. You only need to soak and beat them once, but you need to switch boots every day so that they wear in evenly and they have a chance to air-dry out (from sweat) to avoid fungus. Pull your boot inserts out of the pair that is "resting."

Your foot bears weight unevenly. If you look at a barefoot footprint in wet sand, you can see that your body weight is borne on the "ball" (metatarsals) and "heel." Because of the way people walk when wearing boots (the heel strikes the ground first, then the toes) and especially when marching in cadence, military boots tend to wear worst on the back of the heel. In effect, lacing boots up above the ankle protects the ankle, but causes people to walk unnaturally. If one grows up barefooted or wearing moccasins, your natural gait will be very different, in which one points the toe when taking a step. This looks somewhat like a ballet dancer pointing her (or his) toe. The toes/metatarsals strike the ground first, and the heel later. This is similar to the way people's feet touch the ground when running--you run "on your toes," kind of.

Boots will wear more on those areas where the foot bears the majority of the body's weight, and as the boot sole wears, depressions will form inside the boot to accommodate the plantar surfaces of the foot. This is what we mean when we say boots are "worn in." Once this occurs, as long as you do not wear your boots with wet feet and wet socks, your feet should not blister. However, when on a long hump you should still rest your feet ten minutes out of every two hours, and change socks and inspect each other's feet during the rest.

Modern hiking boots usually do not require much of a break-in period, but they also are not nearly as durable as military boots. They are designed a lot like tennis shoes.

Older design (1970's) mountaineering boots have a very stiff sole and a very robust way of lacing. Walking in them feels a little bit like having boards strapped to your feet.

Everybody chooses boots that suit them best. Nothing wrong with that. I chose boots that were not necessarily the best quality or the most comfortable, but for which I had good evidence to support the idea that they would not fail me 1,000 miles from home. I chose military packs for the same reason. Tough, durable, almost impossible to break.

Since I can't make this its own thread, and it's super super specific, I'll try sharing this here!!

I'll be attending a three week group vacation-thing in Europe in May, consisting of both indoor casual and formal activities (workshops, business meetings, brewery tours, sightseeing, etc.) as well as outdoor activities (two free days of outdoors stuff, a night lantern hike, etc.). I'll be traveling to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, and England, and I am absolutely overwhelmed with what to pack. This is geared for a college/about to graduate tour group! Here are my constraints:

  • I don't want to look like a tourist (pretty obvious)--I've only ever been to the UK and that was for a one week sightseeing/art trip, so it was all indoors, very easy to pack!
  • No access to washer/dryer (probably)
  • I have to be able to carry the luggage in question. I'm a 5'3" girl who works out, and currently I have a large suitcase I can drag up/down stairs and a Patagonia Black Hole Duffle for my back. That's the limit of my packing.
  • I have a severe sweating problem. If I get even slightly overheated, I will sweat through absolutely anything--silk, cotton, linen, you name it, I'll stain it. So, rewearing things is really challenging in the spring/summer months. So what weather should I prepare for as someone from the deep southern USA?
  • I own zero stuff for hiking (probably), just general gym wear. But I was looking at these boots. Could I use them for both hiking and blend in wearing them around the cities? I don't want to bring a ton of shoes!
  • What kind of bag/purse would be best to bring?

    I'm super super overwhelmed and terrified of not being dressed properly since I have some health problems/wear out pretty easily! Thanks for the help!!
