I wear well-draining trail running shoes (TNF Prophecy) that fit well. I use thin SmartWool ankle-height socks. But when my feet get wet and stay wet, the bottoms of my feet get macerated and very painful.

I have read a lot about HydroPel in the book "Fixing Your Feet" and have seen it mentioned here at BPL.

How much of the stuff is needed when used preventatively? At $14 per 2 ounces, HydroPel is crazy expensive. Ryan, how much HydroPel did you go through per day in Alaska?

If it costs me an extra $14/day to keep my feet from getting macerated, I've got to find another solution.
