I'm with Steve on this. You need to make sure the shoes/boots fit properly first. If they don't it's not going to matter what socks or other products you try.

That's not to say that your shoes don't fit you, but that you need to isolate the cause of foot problems by starting there. There are some tips on fitting boots here: http://www.trailspace.com/gear/guide/boot-fitting.html

If your shoes really do fit and are comfortable, then you can move on to trying different sock combinations (I am also a supporter of sock liners for keeping feet dry and reducing friction).

Then if your shoes and sock combo are all in proper order, but you happen to be prone to extra sweaty feet, blisters, or whatever you can take extra care to prevent problems with the use of antiperspirant, Bodyglide, frequent airings, and so on.

I hope that helps, because finding well-fitting, quality shoes and boots is so important to enjoying outdoor activities. Good luck!
