Socks

Don’t overlook socks when suiting up. Cotton socks are the worst choice, as they retain moisture and can cause blisters. There are numerous types of technical socks on the market that will draw the sweat away from your foot and help prevent blisters. Sure, they might be $5 or $7 a pair, but it’s definitely money well spent.
