I do like to walk and soon after I began this blog I posted about the MBTs I found and loved. They stopped the burning pain I would have in the balls of my feet after about 2 miles.
However, after a long walk, especially on a warm day, the configuration of my toes caused pinch blisters. My third and fourth toes were too cozy and when they were pushed together a little by my shoes, blisters blossomed. What I didn't know was that my oldest son has the same problem. I did know that he is very resourceful. He introduced me to toe socks--but not the multi-colored novelties for winter. These come in a variety of weights and styles, some to wear under regular socks, some heavier.
I bought some. They are a bit tricky to put on my "cozy" toes, but once on they don't feel much different than ordinary socks. So far, no blisters for me!
My son just showed me his new toe shoes. Probably not something for me; I'll just wear my comfy MBT sandals when my toes need their space.

welcome back, haven't heard of toe socks though my friend caryn does have some...lol!
I remember wearing multi-colored toe socks in college....some 35 years ago!
I'm glad you found a solution to your toe problem. I'm thankful my toes are far enough apart not to give me that challenge. What I do need is to use my feet more often and get some exercise in.
Very very interesting information here, thanks. I learned something new, glad to hear you found a solution to your toe problem.
Just stopping by to say Hello and wish you a happy and peaceful Memorial Day evening!
I really enjoy the feeling of my toes being separated. I never get blisters, but I think I'll get a pair of your fancy socks all the same.
