[philmont] blisters

you can get Knee high hose in a variety of weights (and colors)

"Support" hose has elastic woven into it which hugs your foot. it holds its
shape really well and may last a little longer. The cheapest cost in hose
will usually result in the thinnest, but not always.

As with any thing, trial and error are best

I think this is a really good idea, and I'm mad I didn't think of it.
