Don't forget to change your socks!
Out walking with my wife after we hadn't been walking for sometime, we had only walked a couple of miles when she started complaining about sore feet. The boots had always been fine in the past and we couldn't understand what had changed. This continued and we had to cut the walk short.
Once back home I realised the problem wasn't what had changed, but what hadn't.
My wifes favourite pair of walking socks were worn out!
Once replaced with a good new pair her feet were fine again.
Lesson learned - Don't forget to change your socks!
People spend an awful lot of money on buying themselves a good pair of boots, and then skimp on a pair of socks
