Good article. You are right in that many people I meet don’t put a lot of thoughts into their socks.
I have had better success with one layer of thin wool socks with occasional moleskin, than I have had with any two layers of socks, even though that’s the way I did it 25 years ago. That’s just me.
Everyone has something that works for them. I suggest trying different combinations on shorter hikes before ending up a day into a multi-day trip with blisters.
