I cross all streams with shoes on, even if there is a log.

Shoes are usually running shoes made from all synthetic materials. I wear shoes that are a size or two larger than my foot size would indicate.

Socks are thin nylon dress socks.

I've never had a blister from doing this.

My feet, socks and shoes are usually wet from sweat anyway. I find the streams refreshing.

Shoes may or may not dry later in the day, depending upon weather. It really doesn't matter to me.
