It’s sandal season and running season, which means blisters are back in full force.
Prevention is the key. Here are some tips:
Skip the Band-Aids, and put some moleskin pads in your shoe where the potential irritation will occur.
Silicone products are good to keep on hand for emergency blisters for runners, walkers or wearing heels to a party. If you’re getting blisters regularly from running, try using paper surgical tape.
Cotton fiber socks should be abandoned in favor of synthetic fiber socks such as Coolmax or polypropylene.
