Great videos mate. Only just become aware of your channel. So you don’t recommend double socking then to help avoid blisters? I’ve got some light weight bridgdale socks and a heavier weight one that I always assumed would cut down on friction when worn together? Thanks in advance.
Thanks - glad you like them! Always grateful for positive feedback. I've never gone for the double sock approach, you often hear people saying that it doesn't help and if anything could make things worse. It might work for you though - you never know! Tbh I'd be more inclined to just wear one pair and make sure that pair are good quality. Medium-weight and high merino content seems to work for me for three-season walking. Will
The problem with rounded laces compared to flat laces is that they come loose too easily if wrap once and then one knot is created. I shall try your method to wrap the laces 3 times and then make one knot. I would normally wrap once and try to create 2 knots, but the length of the laces usually isn't really long enough for shoes and hiking shoes.
What socks do u recommend to prevent blisters as I have my file of Edinburgh in about 3 weeks and I had afew practices and I was starting to feel blisters
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated. They're the Hanwag Banks GTX. Here's a vid with some of my thoughts on it. Will th-cam.com/video/IS3ndcLDyjU/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_title
I have always used boots foot cooling gel , I put it between my toes and on the rest of my foot and as you walk it just keeps you feet feeling lovely.

1000 Mile are worth looking into. They make two-layer models designed to prevent friction. Will
Will, great video as always! I’m trying to work it out - which boots are you wearing?

But why is right foot different?
I washed and reproofed one shoe with Nikwax and didn't do anything to the other one. Will
Where is the tips?

Don’t wear shoes with laces
