    Try this for no blisters.
    Use a liner sock as a first layer. They used to be called 2nd skin. It’s a thin sock “almost” like a sock you’d wear with a suit, then a quality thicker hiking sock. The 1st layer sticks to your foot, and the 2nd layer can move a bit without the friction being on your foot.
    I’ve done this for decades and no blisters.

    I echo this.
    Never had a blister on a sheep hunt.

    The sock liners are just polypropylene liners.
    They don’t smell that great after a few days but they have never failed me.
