No, but I will. Right now my heels are absolutely shredded because I thought doubled up socks would be good enough.

Yeah... sounds counter-intuitive but instead of being a nice extra cushion they cause big bad blisters.

i remember the time i did an exchange term at a university with grade inflation
made it that much tougher to return to my home university where some of the class averages were below 50%. no mercy. no curve.

Back when I was doing a lot of road marching and patrolling, I found my feet better off wearing a thin light pair of socks (think panty hose) and a pair of wool socks.
Dust some foot powder on (not a lot), put on the thin socks, then the wool socks. Dust a little more foot powder in the boots, then lace em up and hit the dirt.
The most important thing, of course, is well fitted boots. Those matter.

I think its pretty variable on the persons foot/boots and the socks they double up on. But I have yet to experience doubled up socks doing more good than harm.

I have heard people doing that double up style, didnt work for me. But yea, the boots are the biggest thing. I wear whites.

I'm having footwear problems as well. I have a couple of pair of Danner hiking boots and generally wear them when I am going to put a lot of miles on when fixing/repairing fence and when I am not going to be knee deep in shit. They are pretty comfortable for a work type boot and seem to be fine when I am walking on grass/gravel/dirt.
When I buy a new pair, I usually wear them as good shoes, even wear them to church. I recently took them along and wore them exclusively at a convention, a lot of sidewalk and skyway walking and I noticed that I started to get shin splints. Ironically those first appeared when we attempted that 400M challenge this spring and I was attempting to run it in a pair of Red Wing work boots.
I haven't figured out if the issue is just that I am getting older or never completely healed from this spring or I need to wear a different shoe walking on concrete all day long which really only happens a few times a year if I can help it. I don't have any issues walking on dirt with those boots and my only complaint is that they are too hot in the summer.

Dirt has some give and hard soled boots, even with soft insoles, work just fine. You don't need a lot of flex in the toe/arch area because of the slight give to the dirt, the tread of the boot squishes and/or slides a tiny bit.
Concrete, indoor has NO give, and even with insoles you need a sole with some give in it, and some flex in the toe/arch area. Try a pair of Military styled jungle/desert boots with a wedge sole, you'll think you died and went to heaven.
