The kind of socks you wear

The kind of socks you wear are a matter of personal taste. For instance, while some people like thick socks, others find them uncomfortable. The rule on socks is that "the sock and shoe should combine to fit the foot like a glove," says Travers. "You have to choose your sock based on personal comfort and protection."

But when it comes to fabric, choose socks made of Thorlo, advises Glickman. A combination of acrylic, nylon, and spandex, Thorlo socks help keep your feet dry and provide extra padding for comfort. You can find them at athletic stores.

Take your time choosing and buying walking shoes and socks. And don't be afraid to spend a little more money for added comfort. Having the right fit is worth it.
