the burn/hot spot blister situation on the balls of my feet.

If I'm at altitude, or going to be doing a lot of shank's mare transport, I slather on petroleum jelly, before I put on my socks. You get used to the squishy feel.

Once, in a pinch, I actually used axle grease, because that was what there was, and I had to make movement. Threw the socks away, and the boots stank for months.

And it makes your feet as soft as a baby's bottom, if you keep doing it.

so if I use the petroleum jelly, does it even matter which kind of socks are worn??

(LOL! and ewwww re the axle grease!)

Something that I have found to be even better is “vapo rub” which is the jelly with herbal oils added.

It controls fungi and bacteria quite well, which is good when you have to go days without changing socks or washing.
