I agree with 99.9% of what Alicia says - with one exception - antiperspirant - you really don't want to block the pores in your feet - which is what most antiperspirants do - your feet don't sweat for the sheer joy of soaking your socks - your body is trying to rid the mucles in your feet of excess heat the only way it knows how.

I mention this only because a friend of mine (podiatrist) admonished me when I told him I was applying that stuff to my feet. He indicated that by blocking surface pores I was actually increasing the odds of blistering the skin on my feet.
