After 12 years, I have just replaced my old favorite toe socks with new ones the same as the old ones. The new ones appear seem to be a little thicker than the old ones but feel just like my originals.
My original toe socks have walked a "little way" in the last 12 years and been to some interesting places along the way, they have been washed in more hotel rooms and creeks than I can count. They have been to Kokoda, the Overland track, walked across England (the Coast to Coast path), they have done the Camino Frances, the Portuguese Coastal Camino, the Via Pondiensis (GR 65) from Le Puy through to Pamplona, the Aussie Camino plus all the training walks to prepare for the expeditions. So rest well old friends while I take these new fellows out for a walk or two.
Oh, and I forgot to mention no blisters!!
