    Was going to say if they're not leather then don't worry about it, they'll be fine.

    Theyll be worn once so wasn't spending much on them! To be fair had decent review on amazon, 4/5 star

    15miles at a decent pace would take about 3-4 hrs plus breaks.

    Taking it steady would be about 4-5 hrs

    Don't wear the other socks.. .if you bought even cheap hiking socks they are designed to be wickable and reduce chance of blisters... adding socks that aren't designed to do it will negate that... like wearing a breathable t-shirt and putting a cotton one under it......wet

    I bought a running top rather than a hiking top too, much lighter and thinner. Quint be too cold at this time of year so really depends on personal preference
