  This is the first I’m hearing about double socking needing to be dress socks, are you sure that’s a thing?

    Not really, but because dress socks tend to be thinner, they won’t feel as bad as two regular socks in one boot.

    Yeah, I learned it from guys in the army. It’s because dress socks reduce friction, and the normal socks absorb swet.

      Why doesn’t the army just make blister-preventing socks?

      That really sounds like some amazing government invention that gets everywhere. Like accelerometers. Or Tang.
