When foreign material like sand and twigs gets into your socks and/or shoes, it can increase friction as you walk and thus cause blisters. Properly-fitting footwear will help keep debris out. If you feel anything in your socks or shoes that shouldn’t be there, stop and remove it immediately. If you are prone to getting blisters in a certain spot on your feet, coat that area with a lubricant before putting on your socks and shoes. Good options include:  Petroleum jelly.  Talcum powder (baby powder)  A foot balm such as Badger foot balm  An anti-chafing ointment such as Bodyglide By placing a small amount of adhesive material over areas of your feet that are prone to friction (known as “taping”), you can protect them and help prevent blisters from forming. Moleskin, available at pharmacies, is preferable to duct tape (which can lose its stickiness when it becomes wet).  Cut a piece of moleskin slightly larger than the area susceptible to friction. Remove the backing from the moleskin to expose its adhesive surface. Press the moleskin to your foot, smoothing out any wrinkles from the center to edge. Put on your socks and footwear. If you increase the distance you walk, run, or hike by small amounts over time, the skin of your feet will become tougher. This can help to prevent blisters from forming. For example, if you want to start a running routine, you can prevent foot blisters caused by running if you start by running short distances before gradually building up to longer distances. Hiking can put extra strain on the feet, because it may involve traveling long distances on foot in less-than comfortable footwear. You can help prevent foot blisters when hiking by following the steps above. In particular:  Make sure your hiking boots are properly broken in and conform well to your feet. Wear two layers of socks. A thin sock made of a synthetic material will help to reduce friction. Wearing another sock made of a non-cotton, absorbent material such as wool will help to wick away moisture and keep your foot dry. Lubricate any part of your foot prone to blisters. In addition, keep a supply of lubricant with you in case you feel any blisters beginning to form during your hike. Apply moleskin patches to any high-friction areas. Carry a supply of moleskin with you in case you need extra protection along the way. Dress shoes can be uncomfortable if they are made of stiff material, if they force your feet into unusual positions, or if they are not worn very often or broken in properly. You can take some preventative measures, however:  Apply moleskin patches to any high-friction areas. Lubricate any part of your foot prone to blisters. Use replacement insoles for more support and comfort. Athletic shoes are work in high-intensity situations that can cause a lot of friction and sweating. To prevent blisters in these situations, make sure to:  Choose athletic shoes that fit your feet very comfortably. Make sure you properly break your athletic shoes in by wearing them for only for short sessions until they conform to the shape of your feet. Only use them for full sessions after they are properly broken in. Apply moleskin patches to any high-friction areas. Lubricate any part of your foot prone to blisters. Wear non-cotton socks to reduce friction between your foot and shoe.
