I tried three totally different types of boot and two didn&rsquo;t feel right and didn&rsquo;t fit correctly and one boot was fine, so these were the ones I bought.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I also got some new socks (thought I&rsquo;d go the whole hog), so this should mean I won&rsquo;t get blisters! I&rsquo;m going to try them out in a day or two by walking part of the route we did last week, as this simple easy hike was the one which caused my problems!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So as Buffaloeagle says keep your feet happy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After I wrote about last weekend&rsquo;s hike and camp with the Scouts and mentioned that my boots rubbed and gave me a blister, up popped this post on the Troop 483 Blog on keeping your feet happy.
