WALKING SOCKS
As a general rule, modern, cushioned walking socks are designed to be worn as a single pair but if a single pair does not afford your feet either the protection or the comfort that you require then consider wearing a pair of thin inners underneath them.
You can buy special inners but these are relatively expensive and you may just require a thin pair of cotton sports socks. The theory is that the inner and the outer will move relative to each other as you walk. This significantly reduces the risk of abrasive blistering.

In hot weather, however, this combination is likely to cause excessive sweating which in itself can lead to blistering. That is why I always use a pair of wicking inners rather that ordinary socks. Reputable names in the sock manufacturing arena include both Thorlo and Bridgedale.
