I just bought Keen Venice H2 Waterproof sandals and I am wondering what socks would be the best to wear in them. I am going on a week long canoeing trip where we have to carry the canoe and all our gear for about a mile in between each lake so I thought hybrid shoes would be perfect. Anyone know what types of socks dry fast, won't blister my feet and will be still be comfortable when hiking between the lakes?
I know that Keen sells socks as well, but they have like 4 different brands. Which one is made for the hybrids so that you can hike in them in water and land.
I go on week long hiking/camping trips yearly and I use wool socks. Something like Smartwool or Bridedale (https://www.smartwool.com/default.cfm#, http://www.bridgedaleusa.com/socks.html). The hybrid socks from Keen look great. Wool dries quickly, breathes and should keep your feet dry but change your socks often, you want dry feet. Use some hypoallergenic surgical tape, like 3M's Durapore, on the places you get blisters.
