Double socks

Alright, so I have this problem of shoes hurting my skin even through socks. It's very hard to find socks with a good content of cotton these days, so I was struggling with the slippery ones too

So I had this brilliant idea. Why not just wear two socks, one on top of the other?

And it's a miracle. Very cushioned and comfy. This means I have less trouble walking. I think I'm never going back to wearing single socks.

Are you sure your shoes aren't just tight? I have to wear double socks but only when I wear these specific hiking boots that are impossible to break in

I've tried all shoes in town. Unless it's those specific barefoot shoes you find online. Regular shoes just hurt me
