- Q What clothing should I wear for walking?
- A What you wear will in part be dictated by the type of walking challenge and the expected conditions. You should always pack to cover all eventualities with your layers being breathable and capable of drawing away sweat, and outer layers being breathable as well as windproof and waterproof. One of the most import decisions is your choice of sock. Socks can make all the difference to your comfort on a walk. Blisters will form if you have damp or wet feet, so select a pair that actively divert sweat and moisture away. Also, select socks with good padding in the heel and toe areas to absorb impact, and go for socks with a seamless toe area to greatly reduce rubbing and discomfort. Never wear cotton socks when walking, as cotton absorbs and retains moisture, which leads to blisters and cold feet, especially in winter.
