-Suitable as a blister preventing base layer under a traditional thick walking sock for 4 season use or as a stand alone summer sock with lightweight fabric boots. The 1000 Mile unique double layer cotton/nylon sock was initially developed as a medical aid for sufferers from poor circulation and foot associated problems, especially among diabetics. As the benefits and reputation of the sock spread, athletes became interested in the socks as a means of preventing blistering, and controlling perspiration, during their training and competitive running programmes.
