You do have to have comfortable shoes, or you are screwed. However, socks are an important part of the equation.

Thorlo socks are available in many stores that have camping gear. They are comfortable and don't smell when they get wet. I think they are wool, but they may be a blend.

Smartwool socks are very comfortable, but they stink when they get wet and they dry slowly.

I recently discovered Browning Merino Wool crew socks and I love them. They are about half the price of the others.

White cotton socks are a poor choice for those who are prone to blisters.
