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.

Military grade stuff generally sucks, lol.

Nah a lot of times government inventions get sold under license. Gov invents it and private industry perfects it. Within 5 years you’d have Darn Tough blisterproof socks and gov gets a fraction of every sale. It’s how NASA has the best ROI in the government.

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