Yeah, I sweat like crazy.  I've tried wearing Smartwools, Thorlos, and 
some nifty double layer running socks.  No difference.  I have tried 
changing my socks.  I just this year found some liner socks I could 
live with (ended up having to go a size smaller) so I'm using those now 
with thick Smartwools.  I can't tell if I'll blister yet, as in the 
past it took several days of constant hiking.

That's a possibility.  I have a latex sensitivity.
