    Wear pantyhose (roll/cut down to sock length) and then wear wool socks. Powder is your best friend. Always have two pair of socks. And a bottle of Ibuprofen.

    Wrapping your socks around your neck on a rainy day will help dry them out too , it sucks if you have been on the trail a while but it does the trick .and wrapping your socks around a dry stick then coil some cordage around them from top to bottom will wring them out better than doing it by hand .
