Please consider buying some large, good quality band-aids because if your self improvement continues, you'll soon have severe blisters on your feet.
Some big band-aids suitable to cover your heel and big toe.
Don't let this derail you.
Clean and bandage your wounds and keep going because it won't take long before the wounds heal and your feet skin thickens to adapt to your new active lifestyle.
Your skin with toughen and thicken to adapt perfectly.
I'd share hiking stories, but I don't want to put you off.

I think the OP will benefit more from allowing his feet to naturally adapt rather than always relying on specialty socks.
If the OP plays around with specialty socks then he'll likely only prolong the discomfort of adapting.
I tend to travel for two or three months at a time and prefer to let my feet adapt naturally rather than trying to source specialty socks in remote locations.
Because hopefully his self improvement will last more than a month.
Rather than consoooming specialty socks forever, he'll never need worry about the problem again if he just let his feet toughen naturally and lets this problem solve itself.
I don't wear specialty socks even when climbing in the Tibetan Himalayas, which I do often, for this reason.
If someone was planning a once-off grueling three-day hike, I'd recommend two-layer specialty socks for that, but not for people who have a daily exercise routine.
Share the stories. Right now I have shoes professionally measured for my feet (turns out they are unusual) walking shoes and supportive comfort insoles.
I don't think my stories will help you. I was considering describing what it's like a month after returning from a three month hike when the extra layers of thick skin from my feet can be peeled away. It's a gross but unhelpful story.
I can tell hiking stories about what it's like to hike in the Tibetan Himalayas about 22,000 feet.
I can tell hiking stories about climbing with cracked ribs.
I can tell hiking stories about climbing up through the clouds and the feeling of standing "above the sky", hiking though nests of deadly brown snakes, climbing half way up Mt. Everest in winter, eating food and drinking beer in -5 degree Fahrenheit weather (not including windchill), making coffee at high altitude using mirrors, the worst high altitude skin-burn tan I've ever seen, how it feels to run without getting tired after returning from high altitude hiking... stories like that, but I don't think those sorts of stories will help your problem.

Why opt for an inferior sock for the job? He wouldn't pick an inferior shoe for hiking.
