not 100% true. Certain brands work a hybrid sock w/a 'built in liner' that acts almost as well if not better. Some liners will fit so snug to your foot that theyll slide *inside* the outer sock and generate friction that way. I hiked much of the cascades and portions of philmont w/out a liner, worked out alright.
Broken in, definately. Part of it is comfort, i forget the exact brand of boot but after ive been on a few hikes the boots fit AMAZINGLY well, never blister or anything.
Otherwise id say do several trips from weekend lenght to week long beforehand to get an idea for the weather, trail conditions, ect. Pack *extremely* light and work up to a fast hiking speed so youre doing over 20 miles a day.
