Double Layered Socks to Prevent Blisters

Some people are more prone to blisters than others, but if you are part of that group, you know full well how important your sock choices are. You may have gone from cotton socks to high-tech acrylic blends, but before you start to break the bank on expensive socks, try doubling up. Double-layer socks can help prevent blisters by providing a decrease in friction between the sock material and your skin. Instead of your skin rubbing directly against the sock during movement, the two socks end up rubbing together lessening the friction on your skin.[1]

Make sure you align the socks before you put them on your feet! This will help position the socks for maximum comfort.
