I don't know what else you have seen on this site about foot care and road marching. When I road marched, instead of foot powder, I used a light coat of vaseline on my feet, just enough so my sock liners would stick to my feet. So any sliding was between the sock liner and the inside of the outer sock. I have sweaty feet too, nothing worked. Additionally, I used mole skin on known hotspots. I was in the infantry for 7 years before selection so I had my routine down. Here's the thing, when I was in selection I got blisters underneath the caluses on the balls of both feet . The doc took a little donut shaped plug cutter and cut through the caluses to relieve the blister pain and them put some tinctur of benzoin on it.

All I'm saying is prepare the best you can, go, then don't quit when it hurts...because it will.

Good Luck
