For blister avoidance try a thin pair of trainer socks under your normal socks.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely try out the merino socks.

I wore jazzy knee highs (with shorts) in the winter and got bollocked!

I’ve found, for a mid range price and mid range longevity, Jeep hiking socks from TK Maxx. Usually about £7 for 3 pairs and they seem to last about 6-8 months

An old sports sock I keep down the side of the bed.

I bought some work socks from Sainsbury's when I started in January. They seemed good. Although in conjunction with the RM Easyflex trainers my feet were suffering on heavy days, so bought some Karrimors. And I've got some thick trainer socks from Tesco to wear in the current weather.

Everlast trainer socks.

Wear shorts all year round (legs dry, trousers don't - well they do but they take forever).

DO NOT TOUCH RM shoes. A decent pair of trainers (I use Nike Revolution 3) and you'll be fine with (no) blisters.

When I started with RM I bought thick socks, thermal underwear, gloves, woolly hats. I didn't wear any. I started in December and was walking round my delivery in polo shirt sleeves, shorts and non-RM shoes. I only touched the big coat if it was sh*tting it down with rain.

Posties moan too much. I'm never get cold apart from on the first bag when you get out of the warm van and into the cold. It takes ten minutes to get warm...the rest of the time I'm never cold.
