Which brand and where is everyone getting theirs from? Theyre stupid hard to find up here in Canada. A lot of the places that should have them look at you like youre stupid when you ask if they have any.

ArmaSkin on Amazon is the ONLY sock liner to own IMO. They're kind of expensive and a bit of a PITA to get on, but guaranteed you won't get blisters.

Bull. Good fitting boots prevent blisters liners don't. If your feet slip in your boot liners aren't going to stop the friction and can add to it due to the rougher material.

Until you have a clue regarding the product, maybe you should keep your comments to yourself. I won't argue the importance of good fitting boots, but sometimes even good fitting boots, don't fit perfectly when they get soaked and start to stretch, etc. With these liner socks, it makes no difference how much your feet move around inside your boots, the liners stick to your feet, and do not move whatsoever. All the friction/rub occurs between the liner and the sock, so this liner is just a thick piece of protection, that covers your whole foot, and does not allow rubbing to occur against your skin.

I must be the luckiest man on the planet then. Every hunting boot I've ever owned for the past 40 years must have fit perfectly. Or........liner socks that I've always worn (since my first days of basketball in the 70's) and in every hunting boot actually work. I'm putting my money on the liner socks. The odds of perfect fitting boots in every case is very low.

Hey OP........you're not looking for "sock liners".......I'd expect weird looks with that as well........you're looking for "liner socks".

O I have a clue. I have to wear a compression sock on my left foot that's way tighter then any liner sock and I can still get a blister on that foot if my feet are moving around. I don't know anyone that hikes for a living that wears liner socks and I know a lot of people that hike for a living.

Worked in the woods for 20 years and never had a blister no matter what I wore. Some guys feet are just tougher then others. Last 5 years if I just think about walking I can get a blister. Getting old sucks.

I can only comment on which brand not to use. I just tried the Fox River liners and they are coming apart after the second wear. They were low cost though, get what you pay for I guess. I look forward to trying the ArmaSkins

I am a big fan of the Smartwool liners. As stated above, you basically have to peel these off at night. My feet may be sore, but they are not blistered from rubbing.
