How to take care of my feet on the road

How often do I need to change socks? I am brand new and trying to keep my pups in good shape in case I gotta boogie. General advice appreciated. In KY in the Midwest and having trouble finding reliable places to put down a tarp. How long can I blow up the spot before I need to dip?

eternally grateful, digits

Anytime your feet perspire or get wet, take them off and dry your toes and air dry your socks.

Otherwise, every 3 - 5 days, but you have to air them out every night and wipe your feet down to keep them clean.

If you are getting blisters, apply band-aids and wear 2 thin pairs of socks to cut down on the friction.

Good luck

!!! Air out your feet out! Keeping ur feet wet/cold will make them more prone to infection as well. Try to make time for ur feet if you need to rest& take off ur shoes to dry your feet. Don’t ignore injuries because your feet can get infected easy if you’re always on the move. Just be prepared, cautious, listen to your body if it’s hurting yk
