1:37 Introduction to moisture-management strategies

Dry skin = lower skin friction
Summer heat = sweatier feet = higher skin friction = more blisters
All moisture-management strategies are aiming to keep the skin drier, which means it is more slippery between the skin and sock, which results in a lower magnitude of soft tissue shear deformation (the skin being able to move in sync with the underlying bone at an earlier moment in each shear distortion).

12:15 💧 Conclusion
Is the skin ever truly DRY when it is covered by socks, wrapped in shoes, exercising, in hot / humid weather? Probably not. So, what can you do? Move on to a strategy that that reduces friction levels irrespecitive of how damp, clammy and wet the skin is. And/or find a better blister prevention strategy specific to the anatomical location.
