the old tried and true moleskin works, but a more important question...
What SOCKS did you wear ? Infrequently used leather boots need to be re-broken in, and wear exactly the same socks that you plan on wearing for your hike.
Which is a GREAT walk.. did it as a teenager ohmygod so many years ago. I mostly remember trying to avoid getting shoved off the trail by those damn burros and their complaining and overlarge passengers.
Of course trying that hike these days would kill me dead.
