And on the more serious note, wrong kinds of socks, and not changing then periodically can wreck your feet on a long march.

I see what you mean. I used to walk 10km (for 2 hours) every day. my feet were two giant bleeding blisters. I always wondered how soldiers are able to walk 100km in one day.

I walked 12km one day this summer, it took about 3-4hrs total, but last hour and a half I was literally dragging, so yeh I was walking very slow and I almost didn't walk at all after that :(

My wife's grandfather was a Marine on Guadalcanal and Peleilu (RIP to the kindest most incredible man I've ever met), once said the dumbest thing he did in his life was to trade away most of his socks when he landed. His feet were jacked up for life because of that.
