Sam and I walked something between 8 and 9 miles this morning. And, boy, are my feet tired. (But if I can solve the blister problem, I'll be in good shape, I think.)

My father used to swear by those cushioned gel type bandages when he was still walking for exercise. I think there are a number of brands now.

I think Sam recommended something similar. I'll have to look them up. Thanks!

Lazarus Long's grandfather had a suggestion. I'm sure you remember it. Not that I've ever tried it.

I think I've misplaced that memory.

Slather your feet with vasoline. Then put on your socks. It'll squish according to the book. It also seems to me like it'll ruin the boots, but for army boots, you may not care.
